    Ned is...

    Ned is everyone's favorite uncle -- as in, when you go for your periodic scans and there's "no evidence of disease" -- Uncle Ned has paid you a visit. He gets around!

    it can be different.  Despite all my tumors, for me it means "Not even dead"

    Just continues to prove

    that even for people who get very sick at times, we can live with our cancer. Sometimes the fight is damn hard. I've always known my life long training has taught me that I can always tolerate just a little more. I also learned from contact sports that I can get knocked down pretty damn hard and I still get back up. I've learned that accepting how my life has been altered allows me to readjust my goals and expectations. I do miss my Harley but you should see how nice my property looks. I look forward to continue persuing my hobbies and interests this year as I am proof we are living with cancer not dying from it. FLY.
