Dr. Randy Pausch
Hi,
I saw the Last Lecture. Fantastic !! Have you all seen Randy's commencement address at Carnigie Melon. It was a terrific lecture on finding your passion and not having regrets. At the end of the address he picked up his wife and carried her off the stage. Go Randy !!

Thanks Harrie.
I posted a link on another thread here to his interview in the Wall Street Journal. I love this guy. I also saw a portion of his last lecture on a video link on this site. He is amazing, inspiring, really just one awesome guy.
Thanks again for the link.

Coughing up blood Feb. 2009. Thoractomy July 2009 to cut out fungal ball of common soil fungus (aspergillus) that grew in the RFA cavity (most likely inhaled while gardening). No cancer, only fungus. Removal of tiny melanoma from upper left arm, plus sentinel lymph node biopsy in Feb. 2016. Guardant Health liquid biopsy in Feb. 2016 showed mutations in 4 subtypes of TP53. Repeat of Guardant Health biopsy in Jana. 2021 showed 3 TP53 mutations, BRCA1 mutation and CHEK2 mutation. Invitae genetic testing showed negative for all of these. Living with MBC since 2007.
