Journal Article
Encountering chemotherapy 2.0
2023
Overview
Hovey discusses his experience of undergoing chemotherapy for advanced metastasized prostate cancer. He states that it has been almost 4 years since his first round, and now he is learning to endure it again, both practically with the physical pain and ontologically with the emotional pain, as he becomes something of a stranger to himself. He does so as a person who was actively trying not to be disrupted by negative life events and was purposefully avoiding the conditions that might unsettle his life, which Heidegger refers to as \"thrownness.\" As he contends with cancer, he is open to new developments and possibilities and not attempt to escape or deny the reality of his situation. Although he has choices, he chose chemotherapy. He seeks to return to what is normal to him because this thrownness causes anxiety.
