Thanks for the advice. Yes, there is a certain amount of “how can he have cancer? He’s really healthy!” My skating coach told me that, since I had cancer, I could skip the final meet of the season but I insisted on competing and I made the podium with silver - second place. And the next oldest man in my class was 18 years my junior!
I appreciate that Tom, my cycling coach, has set the bar high for me knowing I have an aggressive form of PC.
Incidentally, I am 67 years old.
