It was only after the fact when someone pointed it out to me that I comprehended the whole thing. Who knows how I would've felt had I known the gravity of the situation at the time.

Thinking back on your treatment period, when I first heard the news from my Mom, she was pretty upfront about it all -- get home ASAP -- and a day later, I was on a plane for Connecticut. Scary time all around, no one moreso than for you. I think it's important that you DO give yoruself credit for not only the physical but the mental side of the fight. I think what was hard was we COULDN'T understand how you felt and it was tough to only get small flashes of the "old Marc" in between the treatments. For most of us, we assume death is still a vague, far-off notion that is not to be pondered for dozens of years. Yet, to confront it at such a young age-- and emerge from it all -- is amazing. It's a fight you didn't want of course, but you stood up and did what needed to be done. And we're all grateful you did. Good post…
