Sometimes I will read something that gives me sort of an electric shock of reality. I was reading up on some colon cancer news and saw this:
"Stage II (Dukes B)
The 5-year survival rate for Dukes B colon cancer is 78%."
Now I know everyone will say..you can't focus on that. take it a day at time blah blah blah. I do for the most part, but occasionally I read something, or hear something, and for a moment it sets my sirens off. That # is not 100%, it is 78%. Scott is doing so well with chemo and all I keep focusing on is us getting back to our regularly scheduled lives. I never, well not until now, stop to even consider that our rate is not at 100%. It's not an option but it is scary when you do sit down for a quiet moment and consider it.
