It's an experience that many of us have had. You're at your favorite Chinese restaurant. The room is bathed in sensuous smells of pungent spice and savory sauces. Your server approaches the table with your bill and your obligatory fortune cookies. You hope for a positive pronouncement as you read the news of your future.
Modify that story to insert your oncologist for your food server; change those sensuous smells to rubbing alcohol, and this may remind you of a recent checkup in your quest to survive cancer.
Those of us with cancer in our lives know all too well that the suspense that follows us with our disease is often surprising, sometimes life changing and always unknown, until that final moment when our "fortunes" are revealed.
