Dear c,
After a 9 month whirlwind of mammogram, ultrasounds, biopsies, surgeries, heart scan, bone scan, chemotherapy, radiation, uncertainty, fear and exhaustion I am cutting you loose after my last dose of radiation on Friday. I am giving you more notice than you gave me, btw. You’re welcome.
Obviously this relationship was doomed to fail from the beginning. I never even respected you enough to call you by your favorite title.. “the Big C”. You’re nothing but a little c to me.
I’m over you. I’m not taking your calls. Oh sure, our mutual friends at the Cancer Center will want to get together periodically and reminisce about our relationship. I’ll humor them. It’s the least I can do after how hard they fought to get me away from you. Eventually they will grow bored and our visits will be fewer and further between until you will be nothing but a footnote in my book of life.
So long, c. It’s not me, it’s you.

Hysterical. Exactly how I feel about it.
