This week was my annual check up with the Oncologist. Good news, no evidence of cancer. It happened to correspond with National Cancer Survivor Day. The article below sums up some of the feelings of surviving cancer.
"But, like so many so-called cancer survivors in so-called remission, I wait for one. I wait, alert, in no-man’s land, the place to which my mind returns in between all its other preoccupations and activities. It is an eerie place, the fear of recurrence. A grenade may whistle into the expectant silence any time – or never at all."

A little extreme, but accurate in how it feels late at night when everyone is asleep and you are left alone to your thoughts with SportsCenter running in the background.
