As someone with Stage 4 cancer, I was really struck by this quote at the beginning of Mukherjee's "The Emperor of All Maladies:"
"Illness is the night-side of life, a more onerous citizenship. Everyone who is born holds dual citizenship, in the kingdom of the well and in the kingdom of the sick. Although we all prefer to use only the good passport, sooner or later each of us is obliged, at least for a spell, to identify ourselves as citizens of that other place." -- Susan Sontag
@AndyLowry Have you read Between two Kingdoms by Suleika Jaouad? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0399588582
She talks about this concept of 2 kingdoms and the visits to each more.
