All of this so changes the way you think about life -even about everyday things. My husband and I are in the process of interviewing for an opening in our business. As we discuss the various candidates we have been considering what skills they have that can help them to serve as backup for either of us in case... What was interesting in our discussion was the difference in what we meant by "in case." My husband thought that if either one of us was temporarily incapacitated as I was last year (and fortunately had a wonderful assistance who kept things together in my absence). When I think of in case I think of if/when the cancer returns or something else may happen and I won't recover. I don't worry that my death is iminent but when I think of events to be prepared for I think of much more serious outcomes.
I think I lead as normal a life as I can considering all of the changes caused by the cancer treatment but I do have the ocassional pity party (or pity pout as my husband calls it) Its nice to have a place to pout or party with others who understand!
