I went to bed last night with a full heart. The weight of the monumental appointment was palpable, tangible in its intensity. Receiving my doctor's “all clear” filled me with relief and gratitude, not just for me but for the people who love me. One of the worst elements of this disease is seeing how much stress and sadness it places on the people around me. I hate knowing that Sarah has to worry about my mortality. It saddens me that my mom, fighting a cancer battle of her own, has to deal with thoughts of her son expiring before she does. Even the easygoing John Senning has concern in his eyes when we speak about my medical condition.
