I’ve been doing a lot of thinking lately, about the changes wrought in my life by being diagnosed with malignant melanoma, a potentially-deadly skin cancer. However, writing about it has turned out to be less easy. Perhaps this is because when I write, I really have to do some thinking, whereas when I’m “just thinking about it”, I can easily flit off in my mind to something else when I don’t want to think too much about “it.”
