At age 28 my brother was diagnosed with leukemia.

He took up long distance cycling, and running. He lived 9 normal years.

But when the cancer decided to strike, he was dead in about 4 months.

(Maybe if he had not exercised, it would have killed him in 1 or 2 months instead.)

Sorry to hear about your brother. But am encouraged by his courage re: exercise.

I exercise everyday. I never get so much as a cold or flu, unless I stop.
