Marica,

You're right. Soon after I finished my cancer treatment I was crossing a street (within a crosswalk) in downtown Boston. If you know about Boston drivers, you know that's a hazardous move. I had a near miss with an impatient driver who almost ran me over, and I realized at that moment that my risk of being a pedestrian fatality in this city was probably greater than dying from cancer.
