Surviving Cancer

We read this morning of the passing of Peter Jennings who announced his battle with Lung Cancer in April this year. Of course I was hoping he would fare well with the disease somehow reinforcing some belief that if he did, so would I. Hence my shock at his passing and the speed at which his life was taken from him. In some weird way though, I feel like I'm a survivor but there's a long way to go, so no counting chickens or, if to keep that positive outlook, maybe I should be counting them after all?
