I had cancer…

I had cancer png I had cancer...It was the first time I'd noticed my wife paying attention to my butt so intently for awhile. 

As she watched me dress for work, however, the deep frown showing in her sun-drenched reflection in the mirror suggested she didn't really approve of what she saw.

“What's wrong with your leg”, she asked casually.

“Nuthin'”, I replied. Little did I know how wrong I was!

Two months and more than thirty radiation treatments later, I had a very aggressive and quite rare fibromyxoid liposarcoma removed from my right thigh. To ensure they got all of the large (1153g , approx. 2.5 lb), cancerous tumor, the surgeon had to remove most of the lymph nodes and some of my hamstrings.  

That was in 1997. Later my oncologist explained that if I been diagnosed just two years earlier I might have lost the entire leg.

Today, I'm proud to count myself as a cancer survivor. I can't walk or run very well, but at least I was allowed the opportunity to continue to try. And I'm still cancer free!

Everyone touched by cancer has a story like mine.

I Had Cancer is a relatively new online support network with the mission of helping people deal more effectively with life before, during and after they learned they had some form of this personally demoralizing and socially debilitating disease.

This relatively new, first-of-its-kind website allows cancer survivors, their supporters, and the friends & families of those just diagnosed to quickly and conveniently reach out and connect with one another to share their fears and anxieties, individual stories and personal experiences.

Every 21 seconds someone in the US is diagnosed with cancer!

Please share this website and video with everyone in your personal and professional social network. I promise there will be someone out there who will appreciate your thoughtfulness …
