Firebug,
I am just catching up on your last meet and saw some of your videos. You are incredible! I agree wholeheartedly with Yo Momma, it is quite clear than chemo has made your spirit even stronger! You are such an inspiration… IN AND OUT of the gym! Hope you are feeling well!

I just donated in honor of my late husband, who died of a different kind of cancer. Good luck with the race! I am brand new to T-Nation and this thread moves me greatly.

First, I am very sorry for you loss. I am sure he fought a good fight. There is not much I can say to help ease your pain, but do know that the pain will ease for you…as his pain has eased for him.
Second, Welcome to T-Nation!
Last, but not least, Thank you for your support.

Thanks so much for your kind words.
It was a two year long battle. We fought the good fight, and he did not survive. We had a lot of time to think about the “what ifs” and to make our peace. I had time to get used to the idea, and by the time he died, he was in such pain that the end was actually a relief.
He was very clear with me that he wanted me to live, not just survive, after he was gone, and I am doing my best to honor that.
