Way cool story

[Spazman727]

That's really inspiring. I hope I am never in that situation, but if I am I hope I have the guts and determination to do something about it.

[Tigadee]

That is just amazing. It's incredible what a little belief - either internal or external - can do.

[Oblivion]

Once a man like that starts going, there's no stopping him. Hell or high water. He is a bloody legend for trying and succeeding in changing his life for the better.

...great to see positives in the greyness of the incessant negative...

[mashman]

statistically impossible! Fuckin brilliant... oh to have them balls.

There has been a couple of times in my life when members of the medical community have told me things like, you will never walk properly again, or, you will never have full use of that hand again. Well they were wrong, I never gave up.:Punk:

[Macontour]

I had tears in my eyes watching his. Motivational stories and overcoming adversity do that to me. Geez, only half way through and he was way more flexible than me and I don't have TOO much wrong with me except being 50 and spent years carrying heavy weights, now coming back to haunt me. Maybe I should look at Yoga too.

Yoga + a healthy mental attitude to what you want to achieve. If you want to check out what the human body can do, google up the miracle man, that dude crashed a plane and got really messed up, but he never gave up.:msn-wink:

Bastards...my face is leaking....thanks!

The mind is simply amazing!...

I was told by doc's that if didn't under go intense chemotherapy for my cancer of the spine-(It was racing up my spine to get to my heart and other main organs)...It was going to kill me (And chemo only gave me a 30% chance tops...and could actually result in an earlier death due to the doses I needed:shit:)
Screw that!...I refused the Chemo and opted for Radiotherapy (Against all the doc's & my family's pleas)
It certainly wasn't nice, and it nearly broke me physically & mentally...But after a year and a bit of hell and the strongest levels of radiotherapy allowed....I prove them all wrong!...and beat that evil soul crushing disease :niceone:

To this day I believe it was the mental fight to survive and endure that won that battle

...NEVER EVER GIVE UP!...FIGHT!!

You must spread, blah blah. Awesome dude, good for you. Problems do not get solved by focusing on the problem, you gotta focus on the solution or desired outcome. Same as riding a bike, look where you want to go, not where you dont want to go.:Punk:

Good on ya man!

What made you opt for Radiotherapy?

[Nova.]

M..mr miagi!?!!?!?

Chemo scared the crap out of me to be honest, I also hated the thought of the treatment being just as bad as the disease (And possibly dieing quicker due to it) I had read up and found out the odds where just the same with radiotherapy...but it would take much longer, guess I wanted as much time as possible in the end
...as it turned out, I think I made the right call...I shared my treatment time with a 16yr old girl and her family while she had chemo...we met up every week for treatment and kept each other company before and after treatment.
I had to watch that poor girl slowly get worse and worse, she lost all her hair(another point that scared me off due to being a long haired hippy) and she just kept shrinking away due to the chemo treatment.
...then one day I turned up for treatment and only her parents where there...they had come in just to tell me that she had lost her fight a few nights before...it was one of the most heart breaking days of my life, she was only 16yrs old and such a gorgeous person.
I hate that disease!...I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy:no:

...Christ my eyes are leaking again...damnit! :bye:
