cancer club?
I was thinking about the other patients in the cancer center. The various emotions on their faces. It's a place where people can't well hide their feelings, and probably don't feel the need to. We all know what's going on. We all share the same feelings, in fact. We're all facing humiliating and painful treatments against the face of death. We're all in pain or discomfort, fear and exhaustion, courage and terror. We may be in only one or two of those feelings at a given time, and it changes as we progress through the experience. For the first time in my life, I realize I'm part of a group and we actually share feelings alike. Real feelings. Not impressions or assumptions or ethics or morals, but actual emotions we hold. You can dispute how one might feel about a discussion about some questionable topic, but on the topic of having cancer, you all agree on how you feel. I finally found a club I can join. Pity we're all too self ...
