Episode 3534:
Elana Miller shares what she learned while waiting to find out whether treatment for a cancer relapse had worked, and why she came to see fear as harder to live with than death itself. She describes passing the 100-day mark after her stem cell transplant and the ordinary pleasures that followed it. Her reflection is on resilience, and on the quiet value of days that turn out to be unremarkable.

Quotes to ponder:
"The reason I wanted to die quickly is that I've learned there is something worse than death, and it is fear."
"I live each day as if I have all the time in the world, and that makes me happy."
"There is a joy in being ordinary, in having the same petty worries and pleasures of a regular person who hasn't repeatedly had to contemplate their own death."
