When I got cancer the first time, I felt my life, as I had known it, came to a sudden and complete stop. My mortality hung constantly in front of my face like a big huge stop sign. This feeling persisted for weeks and months, but it gradually got better as years began to roll by as well. A stop light cycles through green, yellow and red and then the process starts all over again. A stop sign, however, does not tell you when it is "safe" to advance again.
Instead, you, the driver, are in charge of that decision.
