You find out real quick who your true friends are. This coming race season I could care less where we park, what the run schedule is, the payouts. I?m just thankful I?ll be there to enjoy it with my son. Cancer sucks. Prayers to those doing all they can to get through it.

Yep, it does. May God bless you, and heal your body and mind.
Cancer is an emotional roller coaster for the entire family, and friends. It's not "over" when the treatments are finished, or even when the recovery period ends. Cancer stays with you in the back of your mind. I find that the trick is to show it no fear, to use the experience to make you far more aware of everything in life, and appreciate every second.
