Pace's bones ache, and I feel like a wraith is muttering in my ear

The radiologist told us that Pace will feel pain in her bones as a result of the radio, but to be sure to be aware of any change in the pain and alert the cancer surgeon. Sometimes knowing too much about cancer can cause the mind to turn inward and hear a wraith where there was none to begin with.

And the wraith says things like.

• The thing that makes cancer deadly is when the cancerous cells migrate to other areas of the body
• Different cancers have specific maps and preferred pathways to other areas of the body
• Breast cancer cells often move to the bones.
• The docs say while they actually seem to mutate into another form of cancer, its still breast cancer.
• Breast Cancer also tends to spread to the lymphatic system, liver skin and brain

So I thank the wraith for the warning and get back to focusing on the concrete and the positive.
