2 Quotes by Ann Boyer

I am marked by cancer, and I can’t quite remember what the markers are that mark us as who we are when we are not being marked by something else.

Once my hair is gone, once I can no longer taste my food, once I have passed out while shopping for a bread knife in IKEA, once the ex-lovers have all visited to make one last attempt to get me in bed, once the generous humiliations of crowdsourced charity have assured me months of organic produce, I have become a patient. The old ways are through. Any horizon is made of medicine.
