I was diagnosed as a terminal cancer patient at the age of 15. My family was devastated but I never really felt threatened because as a 15 year old you feel invincible (and, I never really felt "sick"). Thanks to some wonderful doctors at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York, I am still kicking better than ever 22 years later. I realize I was one of the lucky ones, but I feel great pride in Lance's accomplishments not only as an American but as a cancer survivor. He has brought inspiration and hope to millions of young kids and adults inflicted with this horrible disease.
Faith in God and many prayers also helped, I will never forget that!
