Would you believe it?
Sometimes people survive. Sometimes sarcoma subsides. Ten years of testing. Surgical interjection. Physical therapy. Getting on with it. It's clear. The tests are clear. The implications of that aren't. I don't have any more scheduled check ups. Just come back if there are concerns... Cancer-related ones specifically (of course). So now... Eri? Now what? Better, smarter, more accomplished men & women than I have walked through those doors but aren't walking this earth today. I am. Now what? Gratefulness. Responsibility. Restlessness. Humility. The journey didn't end, just the ritual. Chances are that something will pop back up eventually but there's no sense lingering on that. I'll enjoy not having to pay for an MRI every year (or more frequently). I'll try not to squander this added bonus time. There's another person on the planet because the cancer didn't do what it could have. Now what? The specter
