Congrats to you on being cleared, it'll be a big weight of your shoulders. Ive lost several family members to cancer and recently a very close friend of mine was diagnosed but now hes been cleared, so I can relate to you.

Its been a huge learning time for me. I now know who my mates are and who my mates arent. Either way life goes on, you can either do it he easy way or the hard way. I havent spoken to my family for iver 2 yearss, it was the most hardest thing ive ever been through and I was tired of fighting. I was really really lucky. Please think of those who werent and especially for their families....

To those that have been there with me through ny cancer scare over the last 8 months or so, THANKYOU! Just so you all know, I have beeen given the all clear yesterday, yay! Basically this means that I wont be shaving my hair off and that I may be able to lead a normal life now!
Thanks to all of you that have been there for me, I could not have done it without you. Thanks to all the rest of you for the texts and emails! You guys rock, thanks for giving me something to fight for!!!!!

Fantastic,it's always good to hear that somebody has beaten the dreaded C.Now you have many years to look forward to biking.

**NighthawkNZ:Me** · 2nd June 2007, 07:23

Great to hear...

and am sure your are feeling better just knowing you don't have to go through chemotherapy... but it also means the Big C is in remission or something which is even better... My sister went through chemotherapy last year and it does kick the living shit out of you...

(good news though is she is doing well now)

Anyway Ride on dude... enjoy life and live it to the fullest
