The closer biopsy day gets, the more often my calm, detached self, my it-is-what-it-is-don’t-care spirit, decides to take that cheeky unannounced break. And when it does, all I want is to lie there, blankly staring upward, as if trying to bond with my room's ceiling like it’s a therapist who might somehow give me answers.

The more I watch people, the more I'm leaning toward the idea that all human behavioural archetypes essentially fall into one of two camps:

1. I have endured much pain. I have suffered greatly. Every bruise life dealt me, I want to hand back, with interest. Let them suffer as I have suffered. Let them hurt like I hurt.

2. I have endured much pain. I have suffered greatly. And I will do everything in my power not to carry that pain forward, to shield others from it, and to break that cycle of pain.

Follicular lymphoma. Grade 1. Stage 3. Indolent, as they call it. Chronic.

Right. So at least I know now.

Bright side: kinda the lesser crap in the crap news. Could be worse, but then again, could do without it altogether.

It is what it is. Next chapter.
