Wish I hadn't read it

This has, indeed, been a strange week. Have you ever read something you really wish you hadn't read??
I had my radiology appointment this week and she released me. Kinda strange, she said I had no side effects at all, therefore I am released. Yup, just done. I am very happy I am just "done" but a little leery also. Probably would have had a much happier experience had I not had my ipod go out while waiting for her. Since I didn't have that to play with any longer, I then had to read what was available to me.
I read the "stages of cancer" pamphlet that she had on the counter. I was pretty familiar with the stages and the information until I got to the last page, it was on "continuing on with life after cancer".
The paper said "cancer is a chronic disease, it never goes away, it just goes into remission."
That is the sentence I wish I had never read.....made me sad.....it just made it all "real" again.
