Description

Cells Gone Wild It begins with a whiff of criminality: a suspicious place on a routine mammogram. Something fishy. On the film, a dark circle that doesn't belong there. "There" being my body. The body that has, perhaps, gone wild. On the cellular level. Cancer is overproduction, the assembly belt gone haywire, the sorcerer's broom wheeling out of control when the apprentice thinks he knows enough. Too much too much too many. The experts examine and pick and remain close-lipped. It could be something. Or nothing. But they say "or nothing" as an afterthought. Because they know it's cancer but they can't say it yet because Pathology hasn't said so. And then Pathology says so. And then the radiology fellow says: It's positive. The surgeon says it's in three places, not one, and we'll have to take off the whole breast; we can't conserve it.
