I agree. What drives Lance is his determinatin to prove that cancer survivors CAN win a race like the TdF not once, but six times. I KNOW and UNDERSTAND how he feels because I went thru a very similar thing in my own life....ppl telling me "you can't" do this or that, when all that does is drive me to prove I CAN. In 1995 to 1997 I went thru a medical catastrophe that everyone warned me to quit trying. I didnt listen and I "won"...I had a healthy baby after four late term losses that doctors couldnt explain. Why did I keep trying? Ask Lance why he kept trying to win the TdF and you have the same answer for me. To PROVE it CAN be done.
