I have not posted for awhile...a long cold and a busy Christmas season (home and work) have kept me tied up. But I do want to wish everyone a Happy and Healthy New Year. I am an 8 year survivor of stage 3 rectal cancer and will bring in the New Year with a 6 mile run with a group of friends. I can remember being in the middle of treatment (no picnic) and just wishing that I could feel well enough to run again. Well, 8 years and almost 12,000 miles of running later, here I am! Still struggle with some lingering effects of radiation and surgery, but it does get a little better each year. Fight strong survivors in 2007! fedester...glad you are home and healthy for the new year!

    G'day Runner,
    My best wishes for a happy and healthy new year mate. I must say I am very proud of your journey ,knowing what you have come through added to the stresses of life and your work . You keep coming back with your pro-active message and survive by example. By comparison to you I feel like the accidental tourist come survivor. I start into year ten on the 22nd of Jan ,I guess it doesn't matter how you survive as long as you survive. I do know that your recipe for survival seems to have given you a far better quality of life than the accidental one ,keep up the good work and stay happy and healthy ,Ron.
