Wednesday I will have a cancer biopsy.  I am a cancer survivor, so I have been through this before.  I had a bad MRI, so I am fully expecting it to be positive.     But the success part of it is this.   If it is positive, I am confident that we found it early enough that it will be very treatable.   That was true last time as well.  But what is different is that although I realize it is very possible that I will have to do some unpleasant things, this time I find that I am still making long term plans.  I am not putting life on hold.    I feel a great deal of satisfaction in knowing that I can continue to have a life, a really good life, even if I do have cancer again.
