Thread: hard day

    hard day

    well, I turn 20 today and it has almost been one full year since chemo.

    Just found out that a young man in my youth group (22 aged maybe) was diagnosed with colon cancer. God is amazing because I am reminded how little I am here for myself but rather for others. I hope I can go visit him today and that would be one of the best birthday gifts.


    one last question, does endurance sports lower T? i'v been training for a mini tri and have noticed my T level to be a little lower from the ache that I get when I wake up in the morning. (I was just checked last month and everything was A+ then and I notice no lumps what so ever. It's more towards the upper back part like epidimus (sp?) Almost the same as when chemo and had low T. I take no medication and don't really plan, just more curious if this is a reality when training for something.

    Your friend will be so lucky to have your understanding. I watch as Russell does the work of a young man and also has the wisdom of experience that never occurs for many people. I am very proud of him. The best to both you and your friend. Take care, Sharon
