"Do you ever reach a point where you can go an entire day without thinking about cancer?"

Not in my case, because I'm stage 4b (oligometastatic), so I know cancer and treatments like ADT will be part of my life as long as I have life. I'm optimistic that will be a very long time, but cancer for me has become a companion now, not a temporary affliction.

That's OK — it's just part of who I am, just like my grey hair and the gap between my front teeth. Pre-cancer me was a different person, and maybe they're living a happy life in a parallel universe. Or maybe they died in a small-plane crash a few weeks after I was diagnosed in this universe and had to stop flying. Who knows? I guess it's time to beam me up, too. 🙂
