It surprises me how quickly my imagination can run to the worst possible explanation for a cold or a sniffle or a croaky voice. Its not nearly as scary after two or three occurances, but it still rattles me a bit. I think it is a bit of 'post traumatic stress' that alerts us so strongly after cancer - vaguely like the soldier who startles at sharp noises long after s/he is home.
