Thanks for the well wishes.
It's certainly been a shock to myself and everyone around me. I had no family history or life style risk factors yet got lucky with the cancer lottery.
So far everything seems to be ok. I'm coming up on 2 years since being diagnosed and have gone through surgery and chemo. I've been told by the various insurance agents I've contacted that once I reach 5 years, I can be eligible for a standard policy; which is when the medical community deems someone cured.
I'm putting this out there in hopes someone might avoid the situation I'm currently in. Fortunately, I was able to get $500k of coverage from my employer without the need for a health screen. In addition, I've been pretty responsible with my money and have quite a bit saved up for my family if something bad happens to me.
