Miles and Memories

[摘要] An internist describes preparing to run a marathon in memory of her mother and the injury that prevented her from completing the race. Her perspective on this setback was shaped by her own loss and memories of patients whose lives were interrupted by cancer, reminding us that a cancer diagnosis comes without preparation and without choosing. While more cancer patients are surviving, there are still those whose life journeys end much too soon.
