I thought it was a telling moment when I suggested that Monday's result could be a lot worse than the positive outcome I hope it will be. This far in you don't balance it out like you used to. I used to expect bad news and be delighted with the good. Now I would very much hope that I am stable and there has been no deterioration in my condition, certainly no cancerous or precancerous cells in the results. But what if there were? What then?
None of us can predict the future - so I wonder whether you have to live every moment on the edge or play the middle road or just be careful all the time. There isn't a right answer but if you knew you were going to die at a certain day and date - would you spend all your money and make it run out the day before :-) Should you always be cautious and eat the right things or should you cast that aside and fill yourself up with your favourite things? Excess in moderation perhaps?
I'm sure that debate could roll on for years but it was important that I get the point over to certain people that the results are by no means set in stone or a done deal. things could go horribly wrong. Now where's my beer and caviar?
