23 years ago, Buzz, I came to much the same conclusion.

Being a computer programmer, of course I parsed my fear and resentment by asking myself if I wanted to spend the rest of my life being angry and afraid, or did I want to wake up every morning to enjoy a beautiful sunrise, and see a smile on my wife's face.

My Binary solution required a few weeks worth of examination, during which I did not know which of the non Hodgkin lymphomas might be the death of me.

I suspected there might be a flaw in the logic. However, I realized that being constantly angry for six weeks or six months or sixty years, would be a most destructive way to live.

My wife agreed, as did all my friends. We had a lovely celebration when the pathology report found an indolent form of b cell non Hodgkin lymphoma.
