That was brave of you to post this on here, not an easy thing to do.
I bought my Boxster as soon as I was recovered enough from 3 types of chemo and surgery for pcA.
It's been the best anti depressant that I have found.
I have wanted to sell it and "be more practical"
Sure, it's a PITA sometimes, you can't walk in to the store and buy parts like any "normal" car (even in a city like LA), it often feels like more trouble than it's worth, etc.
(We all know that end of the story well, that's why this forum exists)
But driving it brings that "X" factor back almost every time.
Put the top down, head down PCH, and somehow cancer, finances, Trump, etc. all get put into perspective pretty quickly.
My.02 is don't sell it unless you have to (a different story)
PCa treatments are getting better all the time.
There are clinical trials to look in to.
No one knows what's going to happen, not even the doctors.
Statistics don't mean much when it comes down to an individual level.
They are just numbers on a page.
If the thought of being able to drive it again gets you through another day, hour, week, or whatever, you can't put a price on that.
Just knowing that it's waiting there for you when you are better might pull you through some of the darker times.
There are no words to explain what a pcA DX does to a person.
Only those who have faced this thing can really understand it's impact on all aspects of life.
Keep the car and keep your spirits up, it's important.
Just my .02 from one who understands how you feel about this.
