Remission. I hate the word. I discovered today that it is a synonym for forgiveness. Remission is only used for cancer and not for other maladies. Why should I seek forgiveness from an illness. I seek cure, healing, recovery. Who are doctors to talk in terms of months, years, the maximum being five! The time of death is not in our hands. It is has been decided by some bigger force and nothing can change that. I could slip on a banana peel in the next minute and die. Or be run over by a car. Or I could live way beyond the five years that men in white give me.
