We’re slowly being pick off.
At least that’s how Edie felt after hearing one more friend has likely been diagnosed with lymphoma. (The diagnosis was made based on a CT scan only, but the doctor was pretty confident in his diagnosis. More tests are being run.)
Still, when I started to take an inventory of everyone around me who has been diagnosed with some serious illness, I couldn’t help but think to myself, there just maybe something to that statement.
Since my diagnosis with Mantle Cell Lymphoma (MCL) in 2002, my wife has been diagnosed wit Multiple Myeloma (MM), another friend with Non Hodgkins Lymphoma (NHL), two bike riding buddies, one with NHL as well, and the other with bone cancer, two wine drinking friends, husband and wife, with prostrate and breast cancer respectively, a third with cirrhosis of the liver and another is currently receiving treatment for breast cancer.
Counting me, that’s 9 people, and very likely 10 who have been diagnosed with some sort of cancer.
This is just too bizarre for words, and seems more than coincidental. I just wish I had the answer.
I always knew I was way ahead of my time. This just wasn’t what I had expected.
