2x cancer survivor here. It's not a binary choice. The melanoma was chopped out and I was closely monitored for 10 years. Would have killed me in a year or two if I did nothing. The colon cancer was chopped out through an 18" resection and I've ridden 10 centuries in the three years since. Spent two weeks in the Canal St. Martin neighborhood of Paris with my partner. Had a bunch of other lovely trips, remodeled the house, cooked a thousand lovely meals. Nope, I think if/when the crap comes back, I fight it again.

- rhn_mk1 6y ago> I've ridden 10 centuries in the three years since Sorry for the ignorance, but what does that expression mean? I've never seen it before.
- luhn 6y agoA century is a 100-mile bike ride. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Century_ride https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Century_ride
- hoka 6y agoJust starting cycling and feeling lost. This is damn impressive! Consider me inspired on multiple fronts.
- jacquesm 6y agoThat's exactly it. It all depends on what cancer and how far it has spread. Making informed decisions under that kind of pressure is hard. Congrats on your status, and those bike trips are very impressive.
