>> Well, chemo and radiation was about nine months of wondering 'Am I going to die from this?' so... yeah, it DID make me more willing to be ruthless.<<
I thought so. It's usable. I hope you don't have to, but it's good to know that you could.
>> I just don't have a long term answer to "survivorship" yet. That's almost universally set at the five year mark without a relapse or new cancer.<<
This is a different type of "survive." I meant, you've looked at death and you're not dead right now. So if someone threatens you at any point while you're still alive, you have the option of using that against them. It doesn't relate to your long-term survival, just something that happened in the past which you could use in case of future threat. Make more sense now?
