I like your honesty and straightforwardness. I won't stop reading if you stray from running issues. I am in the midst of one of my own crises. Back in 2014, I was diagnosed with mantle cell lymphoma an incurable cancer. I became involved with a clinical trial and was in remission from mid-2015. I continued running halfs during my treatment. I have been checked repeatedly and the MCL is nowhere present. Then after a short 4 mile run this past Feb., I came down with pneumonia and was sent to my cancer hosptial. My oncologist was puzzled. I did not have MCL but precursor b-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). I am at the M D Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, TX going through a 1 year long clinical trial tht will help me beat cancer again. I will be batting 2 for 2. To give you more perspective. I began running in 1977 at the age of 28, and haven't stopped since. I estimate I have covered 60,000 miles. But for the next year, no running, maybe walking. I am a retired environmental engineer and looking to write feature films now. Write what you heart tells you too and maybe you will reach the one heart who needs to really hear your words.
Wow, on just everything you've written here, Jim. My heart goes out to you right now, and bless you my friend -- you are in my prayers for sure. I will be thinking of you every time I send out an issue. Wishing you better health as quickly as possible.

God bless! You are in my prayers!
Hoping for the best. You beat this before, you can do it again!
Praying the cancer gets kicked out of you and that you experience full recovery!!
I second that!
