I'm going to try to be as respectful as possible but I don't know if I can so here goes.. My name…read moreis Kevin and 3 years ago I had the unfortunate diagnosis of acute lymphoblastic leukemia and was just informed by a friend what you think of cancer patients.. Let me say this.. I never asked for a " pity party" through the whole two years of my treatment.. Over the two years I saw people I thought I could count on disappear because I wasn't " fun" anymore.. Threw up countless times, got so weak I couldn't stand, and almost died once.. But I never complained once.. Sure I vented but I knew my family was suffering as well and tried to act happy.. I lost my hair went all the way down to 135 lbs and needed a tube implanted in my chest so my veins wouldn't collapse from the over 200 bags of chemo I received.. Besides that i received over 30 spinal taps 15 bone marrow biopsies and 2 weeks of brain radiation.. Why do I bring this up here goes.. Because of all the steroids I was on I became fat.. 215 lbs about.. But did I give up? No! I trained every day hard for about a year. I now have avascular necrosis in both of my hips can barely walk and need two hip transplants from the steroids I needed.. Do I cry? No! I trained what I could mostly upper body.. Now I curl 100 lbs do pull ups with 40 lb chains on my back and bench 245 about 7 times.. I litteraly had to go from ground zero and build myself back up.. But I did because I am a survivor.. I don't ask for pitty.. I get off on people telling me I can't do things... So when I heard what you had to say about our " pity parties" it made me sick.. Spend a day in the shoes I did and recover as much as I did then I will give a **** about one of your opinions.. Until then I encourage you to go tell a 7 year old hooked up to numerous iv's on his death bed that you're sick of his " pity party". Unless you're man enough to grow a pair and say it to our faces keep your opinions to yourself and go about your daily business.. You sir are the worst person I have ever heard of good day. P.S. Do you think it's smart trashing people that could become potential clients? Many of us survivors get trainers so they can get back into shape.. I know I did.
