I’m one of those people who enjoys plans. Whether it’s a walk through the Elmwood village, an epic vacation or a college semester, I relish outlining future details and knowing where my life is going to go. So when I had a lifelong goal of moving to New York City to work in theater and finally arrived there as an early college graduate at age 21, I saw it as a reward for all of my purposeful career planning.
Think about that. A solid ten years of dreaming and planning finally came to fruition only to go up in flames thanks to a 30-minute doctor appointment on the Upper West Side.
The culprit? Cancer.
