Things that are Weird: Part Six

  1. Celebrating the one-year anniversary of moving into your townhouse and realizing that when you moved in, you already had at least one cancer—you just didn’t know it.
  2. Your friend talking about going to eat oysters and doing the math in your head about when your immune system will be strong enough to eat oysters again. Answer = not soon enough.
  3. Meeting someone for coffee—a new-ish friend who you have no social media contact or texting history with— and having to casually mention that since the last time you saw them, you now have cancer. Two cancers. Surprise!
  4. Being so fucking excited that you can reach your left arm overhead and put on any shirt you want.
  5. Being scared to walk a (literal) mile alone because of fatigue, or dizziness, or the general sense that something is off.
