Cancer isn't suppose to be a normal experience. In fact, cancer and normal don't exactly fit together in the same sentence. Yet somehow, Alexis seems to be normalizing this--making her cancer experience, in some way, seem normal.
Focusing on everything else, while, I think anyways, forgetting what is actually going on inside her body. At least that's how it seems to be anyway. It could be that she's somehow normalizing this for everyone around her--protecting all of us from the reality of the thoughts brewing inside her head. But I refrain. I might be looking too deep into this. But alas, for Alexis' character, it would make sense that while we are all trying to protect her, she's actually trying to protect us.
