although I was 19 my general practitioner had a relationship with an oncologist that headed one of Valerie fund offices so he got me in but I was the oldest there by far.

If you ever have some cash and want to donate they are an amazing group.This was the year the Knicks lost to the Rockets and following that team was often the thing that kept me going. The whole office knew I was a huge Knick fan. They made me go to the xmas party that year. I really didnt want to, but they really pushed so I caved. Santa called me up to sit on his lap and said ho-ho-ho we have something here for this big kid... courtside seats. Knicks vs. Nuggs. I was right behind the Knick bench and sat in front of Rodney Hampton.
Life is funny.
wow! I have goose bumps fishmike.
Sports talk seems so silly in the context of real life.
For some reason, everyone who goes through these illnesses seem like pure souls that learn to have such a great perspective one life/
Curious ... was it hodgekins or non hodgekins?
You certaintly learn to focus on the moment and live in the now. Im a very emotional guy so takes some practice for sure. Its all about today and for me my kids. Right now Im a nervous wreck. Im cool on the outside but Im out of my mind. I coach my son's hoops team (we are the Jayhawks) and tonight is the league final. We went 8-4, earned a bi, won our first two and can win the title tonight. This is soooo much easier as player!

I think my guys are .5 favorites so its basically a pickem
You would love my team.. we have 4 good scorers, but EVERY kid plays defense. I got them taking pride in playing team D and its our calling card. Our first playoff game we were winning 12-0 at halftime. Yea... we were pitched a shutout in the first half 
I need to get up and pace.
