been some time since I've been crying over an xkcd, but damn Randall

Fifteen Years

xkcd
@scy yeah godamn but I'm a good way
@scy I know, right? All the feels.

@scy this is so good. It's been almost 10 years since I had cancer and that feeling of related pain making me think "maybe this is the cancer again" never really went away. I don't think about it too often though, it doesn't actively bother me. Like, I was fully prepared to die back then, now everything just feels like borrowed time.

Similar to the comic, my now-wife never left my side during chemo. Getting to grow older with them is something I didn't realize I'd cherish so much before

@scy I read this in landscape on my tiny phone screen and when that full color picture scrolled up... damn.

@scy aww fuck

yep, right on cue

@scy you're not crying I'm crying
@scy I just can hope this will be my story in 15 years...
@vezka <3 wenn du magst: 🫂@scy
@scy 33 years after recovering fully from breast cancer, someone I know got it again. And died from consequences of the original radiotherapy. Thats very fucked up.
