Summary
Around them, the tourists and the window shoppers were beginning to duck inside buildings and under scaffolding while lines of taxis slowed to pick up easy marks. Umbrellas and newspapers rose into the air, swelling into a black black and gray river down Museum Mile. And there they were in the middle, huddling cold and wet with nothing to show for it but each other. Joy to you and me.
“It’s just a bit of rain,” Scully teased, eyes aglow. As if it were a separate thought, she added, “I’m not going to die.”
I’m not going to die, she says! And she sounded so sure, too, that she may as well have said never. What he wouldn’t have given.It never does rain sleeping bags; Mulder counts himself lucky all the same.

Summary
It's possible she didn't think this far ahead. More than that—it's possible she hasn't thought this through at all.
But she's committed now, and she's starting to feel feral, her needs centered around primitive instincts. It is in every species' nature to fight for survival at any cost, but she is burdened with a human's intellect that can allow her to deny herself continued survival if doing so also means prolonged suffering. If she is to keep her promise—if she is to fight for her life with treatments that make her feel sicker than the disease they're targeting—then she has to go into it with a memory that reminds her why it's worth it to stay alive.
