The day I found out the cancer had spread to my lymph nodes, I read in The Boston Globe that Hsing-Hsing, the giant panda in the Washington National Zoo, underwent surgery a day earlier, and had his lymph nodes removed for testing. The idea that I had something in common with the panda was amusing, and made me laugh on what otherwise was a very grim news day. I was also relieved that the late night talk shows weren’t joking about me like they were about poor Hsing-Hsing, who had a testicle removed
