"I don't like coming to this appoint-ment each year." I said, as I anxious-ly awaited for my name to be called. "I am always worried that Dr. Torres is going to tell me that the cancer has come back.""I can appre-ciate where you are coming, sweet sweet." Mom said, gently, gently rubbing my back."How-ever, what evidence is there that it has? After all, you have been on remiss-ion since you were 14.""I agree with your Mom on this one, girlie." Jerica, my best girl friend in the entire world, added. "Based on past evidence of past history, I have a feeling that it hasn't come back."Before I could respond, my name was being called.
