Well, thanks a lot--your inspiration, combined with watching Gatlin again, led me to overextend myself and tear my groin!

Seriously, every time I go to the track, I think about this thread, and about how great it is to be there, able to push myself hard, even to the point of injury. I would even say that my groin tear was worth it, man was I moving that day.

Coming back to this thread, I must say that I don't even mind rehabbing. Life is good, training at all is a luxury afforded by civilization. I'm glad you're keeping it up.

Well, it's back according to scans yesterday and they suspect I may have leukemia on top of it. Guess I'll be taking some time off. Hopefully they are wrong about the leukemia. That would be a major dose of double suck. All this to say, I'm going back to my old handle.

I'm so sorry. I was wondering why you hadn't posted in a while. Will you have chemo? Are you in pain?

Cancer sucks, and so does this news. I have nothing profound to contribute, but I do want to say your toughness in the face of . . . well, everything you've faced is really admirable. I'm wishing you continued strength and toughness and better times ahead.

Sucks, but there are things to enjoy in life. Focus on them, and try to ignore those horrible healthcare color schemes.

Meantime, my friend continues lymphoma treatments at Mayo, and has learned to distrust the entire medical establishment, even at that much-vaunted clinic.

I guarantee that you're not overstepping any bounds here and that we're all wishing he gets to put "used to be" back in his screen name really soon.
Best of luck CG. You've inspired loads of us.

So sorry to hear of your recent news. None of us have any guarantees in this life- and miracles do happen, I've seen it in my own life. Keep believing. There's much mystery in this illusion we call "life".

I will keep you (and your family) in my prayers.

good luck, stay positive, and don't let them go crazy on you with experimental drugs! they really can do more harm than they help.

It seems names (and the esteem that goes with them) become meaningless when they tell you they really don't know how to help you. Hopefully most people never realize this.

To relate, my father's initial treatments have finished. They treated him...he got through it...they got what they were shooting for, but he's still having issues...lymph nodes. They can get the spots they find, but the cancer is going to keep coming back. So, he's going to be dealing with his cancer for the rest of his life.

I hope one day you feel comfortable revealing who you are. You have an additional support group in this weird place. I believe we'd all like to be able to do something more than wish you well.
