In equipoise?

There is a legal term about when legal arguments are of equal strength, they are in equipoise.  I hear all the time about the battle with cancer and winning or losing, and I have never liked the concept of beating cancer into submission.  I just want to find equipoise, where we can be equal and find some balance.  We can find some way to keep cancer quiet and I can find some life left to live.  It may not be 82, but then cancer may not kill me at 55.  Instead we can find some compromise and way to live together and work toward a balance or equipoise.
