My 78-year-old mother was, a few years ago, diagnosed with terminal cancer.  She was absolutely penniless.
The care and compassion she received?  It absolutely boggled my mind.  Aside from the $300,000 or so (?) of high-tech treatment she got, she was met by wave after wave of compassionate health care professionals.  And she'd be the first to tell you that she wasn't the easiest to get along with :- )
My own experience, the last year, has somehow topped that.  And by the way, lest this be a "Debbie Downer" reference, as of today my health is probably better than yours is, though that was once rather unlikely.  Heh.  Don' sweat it.

I think the artist above?  Probably outdoes the Percy Harvins and Marshawn Lynches of the world.
Your chance to be born in the U.S. was about 1 in 25, my friend :- )
