Because I came very close to dying after my 10 hr. esophageal cancer with gastric pull-through surgery which left me in a 2 mo. long coma, my death certificate was ready to sign. But my medical advocate said to give me more time, Sure enough 2 weeks later I awoke from the deep coma and surprised everyone. The song that really gets to me is We Are The Champions by Freddie Mercury & Queen. I've been told many times that I am a true champion to have beaten the odds of surviving when it seemed all hope was lost.
