I imagine the treatments wouldn't start for a week or two no? If that's the case I'd go balls to the wall on a cool family vacay. Screw school, screw work, let's go. I'd take the time between setting appointments to do a bomb ass trip to Disney World or something. It's hard to go overseas for just a week, so this would be my go-to. Make some killer memories while you're still active and awaiting treatment. You said you're financially stable, I'd book tickets now, and be clear with your kids that this is most likely the last "full" family trip. Make those memories while they can still be made. I think that's what I would do for my kids at their age (mine currently are 5 and 1 and I'm 20 years your junior, so I probably take them to Paris as it's already on my daughter's bucket list). I guess it depends on the urgency and how fast they can get you in, as well as prognosis. Maybe you have the curable one? Maybe you get lucky? I don't know, and you don't know. Go on a cool short trip with a 2 bedroom situation, have some wild sex and have fun for a minute before things turn south.

​

Also maybe make videos for your kids for certain milestones that they can see as they grow. Like "you graduated high school/college?! Amazing!". "Sorry I couldn't walk you down the aisle, but I'm sure you look amazing hunny". "youre having a baby?!?, I remember when you were born..." There may even be a service that will send videos when appropriate, or you can ask a trusted friend to send a link or the video when the time is right. That's something I think I would do for my kids so they know that dad will always live in their heart and hopefully remember me as I was. I'll stop cutting onions now.

Since I have to ask a question, does that sound good to you? There are likely hard times ahead for your family (and yourself), but what do you want them to remember? Sorry man. I'm putting myself in your shoes and I don't envy it.

Assuming you're in LA, any word on upcoming PA gigs? It's been a little slow lately...

Also, mad respect for the make-up crew. I've seen some pretty amazing work. It truly is an art.
