Outside REading Post B Week 3 =)

Dear Lance,

At this point in your memoir, im asking questions to myself about how you survived that horrible disease and still have the guts to keep going. You had been struck with so much bad news in a short time, that i was even wondering what i would have done in that type of situation! You showed no fear, infact you declared, "To be afraid is a priceless education"(96). With your many uncertanties you said things like "You picked the wrong guy [...]when you looked around for a body to try to live in, you made a big mistake when you chose mine"(97) to his cancer. How did you even function when you knew that the cancer was in your lungs, stage three, you have no insurance, and its in the brain? Without realizing it you thought of death. While i was reading, i felt like i was in the same position. I wanted you to come out of sugery well and healthy. I wanted you to not feel so sick during chemo. I didn't want the cancer to come back. You were so determined to beat the cancer, that the doctors were taken aback. You wanted to ride your bike so bad even during your sickest times, and if you did not feel up to it, you wanted to at least walk. NOt be pushed around in a wheel chair. All in all, Lance Armstrong you are a fighter, a survivor and a changed man.

Sincerly, CEO
