Seemingly overnight, we find out that there is ‘something’ inside our bodies – our own ‘self’ – which is slowly killing us, and we cannot resolve it ourselves. Our sense of autonomy, independence, and control is shaken. Then, while a confrontation with our mortality is always traumatic, cancer draws it out.
