Remission

At my last appointment my doctor used this word.

It should be a joyous word, shouldn't it.

Not a question.

It was a blow to hear it.

As I told a friend, I had somehow thought I was exempt from THAT status.  So, when he dictated his notes and used the term to describe me, I was totally taken aback.

It's really hard to navigate this disease, especially when there is no chemo, no radiation. It's like a free pass.

If I were sick from those, I think people would be much nicer about my mental state...

But I LOOK FINE…

So, I must FEEL FINE…

But feeling fine is a lot of work. More work than it's ever been before.
