It must feel good to take on new challanges, I like Tristeve was a triathlete a few years before HPV introduced cancer and the treatment as a new part time hobby. I have used my old training styles add a little each week stay focused folloe instructions and advice from others to complete this course the same as I did ontriathlon courses. 4 weeks since Chemo radiation finished each day is a step back to gaining 30 lbs I lost. Ten minutes on the bike has replaced 2 and a half hour bike rides, but the feeling on the ten minutes is great. Still on peg for every thing but I want to eat and food smells good again. In a week or so I get the standard removal of a few shruken lymph nodes. I have entered the "Slateman" and olympic distance tri in the rural Welsh Valleys easter 2013. So happy to be progressing to eating Cristmas dinner with a knife and fork.
All my triathlons including the 1/2 ironman world championship in Clearwater 2007 were a walk in the park compared to Chemo and Chemo radiation concurrent, please a meddle for everyone who has wnet through this treatment. And a thank you for this site to all the regular supporters for keeping me informed and positive all the way.
