OP, don't feel any pressure to keep up with your studies, just focus on being positive, taking it easy and doing things you enjoy. If that includes studying, more power to you, but you can certainly catch up on everything AFTER you beat this. And if this is all new to you and things like chemo and radiation are in your future and you don't know what to expect, let me know and I'll drop you a line. I've been through some of that and know others who have been through other kinds of treatment. It can be intimidating at first, but there's a great community out there that is more than willing to help (and your family) through this. Hang in there and let us know what we can do. I'll also amend the previous offer to not just include textbooks, but also a rather awesome Calvin and Hobbes collection. Personally, I think I learned more from those two than from any textbook anyway. :-) Good point, Anonymous.

Since you won't be graded AT ALL you can "take" something really challenging. Or you could do one that would be fun but doesn't fit with your major/career plans. I'm sure the professors won't mind if you write them with questions, either. And you can do it at your own pace, too. Don't feel pressured to go "full nerd," though. The important thing is that you can have as stress-free a life as possible so you can focus on recovery. Reading comic books all day is perfectly acceptable when your mental energy needs to go towards maintaining a positive attitude.

If so, pass along an address and I'll send you the textbooks and more once the class starts up. You can go 'full nerd' even while not at Yale. In fact, I'd expect nothing less from a Yalie. :-) Cancer sucks. I hope your treatment goes really, really well and you come back and see us soon. Find one or two you really like yet?
