Today marks ten years since Lance was diagnosed with testicular cancer. As all of us affected by cancer know, cancer may leave your body, but it never leaves your life. Lance has done many things over the last ten year since his diagnoses. You can read some of his accomplishments here.
I read both of Lance Armstrong's books, Its Not About the Bike and Every Second Counts. I really loved the first one and I actually learned that his sport is much more interesting than a group of guys racing on their bikes.
I'm coming up on my five year cancer anniversary in December. Me and my friend Deb, who was diagnosed with breast cancer at the same time, plan on celebrating this milestone together! We know it doesn't mean we are definitely cured but I remember the way we looked at each other when we first met...will we be here in five years? We were both in our early 30's and scared. Today we see ourselves as strong women who will keep going no matter what!
Thanks to Deb Kirkland who gave me the tip about Lance's cancer anniversary
1. Happy Cancer Anniversary Lance! You are truly amazing and we love you! You are dedicated, determined, and an inspiration to all of us who are survivors! Kristi, I look forward to celebrating "life" with you soon! Hard to believe it has almost been 5 years!!!!! Great blog! Cheers!
