As someone who was diagnosed with cancer back in August at the age of 33, I can relate, thankfully, it was easily treatable, testicular cancer that by all appearances had not spread. I literally gave my left nut to get rid of it.
That was the only thing that really bothered me too, having a, at the time, 8 month old daughter who I might not get to raise. That of all things was my greatest regret and fear.
I had terminal life insurance already to cover loss of income and pay off the mortgage, etc. I'm not saying this to you, nothing you can do about it now, but people if you have a family you care about that relies on you for their well being in anyway, even if its just child care, and extra income, etc. Get some life insurance, insurance is for exactly this reason, highly unlikely events, but events that are financially devastating all the same.
