Diagnosis- NEGATIVE!!

Geez Denise, sorry you had to go through all that. Enjoy life. I agree.

Whew. What a relief.

Cancer sucks. My thanks to everyone who does any sort of "race" for any sort of "cure."

Danskin Tri is really a breast cancer tri, and I felt odd that they let me race as a "survivor" when my cancer was something else. But I'll tell you all that the incredible support Team Survivor got when we went up on stage during the tri pep talk on packet pick-up day was utterly amazing.

Thank you to everyone.

And do what you love! I'm gradually learning that life is just plain scary, and the things that scare me the most also teach me the most. I'm not quite as brave as you yet (I do watch the video!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cGFx4xWnnnI Love it!!), but I'm working on it!

Triathlon t-shirts? I want one!

Whew! What good news. But then one thinks of those for whom the news is not good. I know I've done multiple ALC's but cancer has cut a swath through my family and I had a minor (caught waaaay early) scare with skin cancer recently.

How 'bout this California tri that benefits the Breast Cancer fund?

Spoke- How is everything on your end??

Trek- When is that tri? I would do it. It looks like it's at the site of my very first race. I couldn't figure out when it was? But I did do a race for the cure tri in May. Now I'm extra happy and proud that I did it.

Cheryl- Here's a {{{{{{hug}}}}}}} back.

Mimi, knot, and Mak- thank you, thank you!

It seems that lately cancer has taken hold of a lot of us on this board in one way or another- mostly family members or dear friends. It's a big ugly wave.
My uncle who is morbidly obese (at least 500 lb), and diabetic was just diagnosed with kidney cancer. The problem is he's too big to get a CT scan. So they don't know how bad it is. He's trying to lose 25 lbs so he can get the CT. But surgery is scheduled. Unf. he has chosen a life path that is anything but healthy, so it's not a real surprise to any of us. But he is a great guy, so it is very sad. It's also sad how the doctors are treating him. It's not like he doesn't KNOW his reality, but they are so harsh on him. One tech suggested he go to UC DAVIS that maybe they had a scanner that he could fit in at their vet hospital.- As in one made for horses. The reality is they probably do, but it was the delivery in which the tech said it.
He was so upset that he didn't tell my aunt (his wife) until they were almost home.

Stay healthy girls! And become an ambasador for the kids. Show them what a healthy life path will bring, vs. a sedentary one with bad food choices.

Much love to ALL!
Denise
