mr cho, my best friend by far that ive made in the cancer ward, checked out today.
i never imagined i would feel jealousy for people with colon cancer, but its by far the most common cancer being treated on the 10th floor (i cant speak for the other floors), and they have a veritable assembly line set up. even with complications, mr cho only stayed 10 days, and mr park was through in 7 days flat. meanwhile i languish here, watching the comings and goings of roommates and caregivers.
i will miss mr cho but feel confident that i will stay in touch with him. he and his wife were among the kindest and most inquisitive people i have met here. i wish them and their family the best. here is a picture of his wife, him (already in civvies) and me.
