me: 2 / cancer: 0 
I am a two time cancer survivor.
I was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma in June 2003. Given less than a 40% chance of surviving, I was inspired by Lance Armstrong to not lose hope and to fight the disease. In November 2003 I went into remission for 10 wonderful months. In October 2004 I was re-diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. Three weeks later I was told I had both diseases (Hodgkin’s and Non-Hodgkin’s). Again I was told my chances of survival were less than 40%. Through all of this I never lost hope and strived to LiveSTRONG as Mr. Armstrong would say. I had a Auto Stem Cell Transplant 12/31/2004 and this has put my cancer in remission.
Chemo I have had:
06/03 – 11/03: CHOP+R (10)
10/04: ABVD (1)
11/04: ICE (2)
12/04: BEAM (5 days)
12/31/04: Auto Stem Cell Transplant
03/05: Radiation (17)
I took up racing in Sept 2005 and competed in my first Duathlon before earning a Green Jersey for the 2005 Ride for the Roses in Austin, Texas. I rode 70 miles for that event and was only 290 days out from my SCT.
I have been competing in Duathlons, Time Trials, & Cyclosportif’s now for 3 years.
I am working on starting a Cycling Team called Cycling For Cancer (this site) I am hoping to get cancer survivors interested in competing, but the group is open to anyone that wished to ride or compete in various events.
I am coming up on my 5 year mark and I am now proud parent of twins (Jameson (girl) and Lucas (boy)).
