When I was first diagnosed, to simplify my story, I just called it ‘throat cancer’. Turns out it’s not. Turns out this is worse. (Personally, I sit in the camp that this is not a competition - it’s all horrible.)

Anyway - talking to someone, who in turn reminded me of The Real Story of Michael Douglas … well worth a read, particulalrly if you think you know his story.

I just posted something about how it is often too soon to talk about whether a story has a good outcome - or a bad one. I am filing this post into that same camp.
