Cancer is one of those things that nobody really likes to think or talk about much. And today it became one of those realities that I have not been particularly fond of lately as well. My brother was diagnosed a day or so ago and will soon be going in for surgery. The only way it could get any more directly relevant is if/when I am diagnosed with it myself.
To be honest, I am not entirely sure how to respond to this news. I naturally have the feelings of trepidation about what the future holds for my brother and family... but I somehow feel like I am not appropriately emotional about it. I think my self-defense mechanism has simply cut most of the emotion out of this whole experience. It is kind of weird.
Well... now I move forward in life as if nothing has changed. In reality, my plans are not affected much by this but I think I need to pay close attention over the next few days because things really could make a change in direction quickly.
