He's "ok" for now, but brain cancer is a monster that sits quietly and waits - sometimes months, sometimes years - to rear it's ugly head again. But until they find a cure, it's always terminal.
So yes, please do not take things for granted, and don't put things off because there's no time to do it now. Make time. Love on your families, gather with friends, and take that vacation you've been meaning to take. You may not get another chance.
