As I myself am fighting a rare, aggressive Stage 4 Kidney cancer with no known cure or long term treatment - hearing of Andrew Lee’s passing hits really close to home. While his variant of RCC is slightly more rarer than mine, mine is worse only
in its metastatic aggressiveness. He was diagnosed a few months before me and passed away on Easter with his family by his side - an awful day for an untimely death.
The news of his passing and his story though just hit too
close to home given my condition and situation. He fought for four years
and I am on my third year of the fight. I honestly had hoped I could
make it 11-12 years, enough to correct my life and properly set things
in place for my fiancee for the rest of her life - but lately I’ve been
feeling that five years would be quite lucky. This news doesn’t do much
to help that sneaking fear of pending mortality.
I hadn’t looked into his story too much prior to his death, though I had heard of his charity from fellow car enthusiasts. I hope his last days were at ease with no pain and that wherever he his now he is free of the fight. Godspeed Mr. Lee!
This is what we'll show whenever you publish anything on Kinja:

Fuck man, like everyone who clicked before me, I just don’t even know what to say. I hate cancer so goddamn much.
I hope you’re able to get to a place of contentment in your life, but don’t squander your time worrying about life after death. Just live in the now and try to enjoy every moment you have with the people places and things which mean the most to you. Make good memories. They are everlasting.
Ima go cry a little now. Brb.

I remember seeing his GT-R in Pittsburgh a few years ago and hearing his story. It was incredibly sad to hear of his passing, however his attitude for those few years were incredible. Stay strong man, we know you’re a tough fighter.
