Yea, the sparrow hath found an house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, even thine altars, O Lord of hosts, my King, and my God.

Note to self
Do something normal this weekend, pretend that life is going ahead and that everything will turn out OK.
I think this note to self is an excellent suggestion. I won't say "I know exactly how you feel," because I don't. I'm not you, and I don't have cancer. I do, however, know what it feels like to have continuing, long-term medical problems and to be anxious about what the future might bring. If you spend all your time dwelling on your fears, anxieties, and worst case scenarios, you can rob yourself of the joy and pleasure that are still out there waiting to be experienced.
What can we, your readers, do for you that will be helpful and comforting to you in this difficult time without crossing boundaries or activating your creep-out alarms? We really do want to help.
I do believe you'll enjoy this article: http://blogs.scientificamerican.com/streams-of-consciousness/2011/12/13/an-artist-reveals-how-he-tricks-the-eyes/
