Thanx guys. It´s a few years since now. I was 22 when I got it. It may sound strange ,but in retrospect, getting cancer is actually the best thing that happened to me. (After the chemo and radiation, that is...)
Cause it made me think about how I lived my life. Before, I was the typical young bloke, drinking 2-3 nights a week, dieting consisting of pizza and chips, and close to no physical activity.
After the treatment, I spent the first year just slowly getting back in shape. I quit the dead-end job I had and got back to school. Took a chance and got the best job in the world. :-D Started eating healthier and probably turned out altogether happier and healthier that if I hadn´t gotten cancer.
So yes, it´s the worst thing that ever happened to me. But it´s also the best.

hey i believe every bad thing in your life you can benefit from if you learn from it. take it for what it was and dont make the same mistakes. Glad you beat it. Ive lost alot of family members from cancer.
^^^ here here!
Highest = birth of my baby boy
Lowest = Lost in a labor case
Highest - watching my second daughter's birth. I have 4 biological kids. My 2nd daughters was really a special time. It was one of those moments when you could see real clear and marveled at the whole thing. My wife was not on any meds for this birth too. Definitely special.
Lowes - holding my second daughter in my arms as she died. Nothing will ever compare and I can't imagine a lower time in my life even in the future.
I have had many highs and lows on different scales, but if I had to post only one for each it would be those two. My highest wasn't because I lost her later either... It truly was a special moment long before I ever knew I would lose her.
Lowest - addiction
Highest - every new day, sober, working out getting off probation
Highest: Still waiting on it
Lowest: Realising that my girlfriend of 4 years was the one, only after it was too late.
Highest, a relationship that started October 2007.
Lowest, when it ended June 2008.
No it was not my first, it just one of those few that felt like the first one. It felt to good to be true, on top of th world. It was to good to be true. As high as you feel is how far you will/can fall. Funny how that works.
epic, Marcus, and sig.... thanks a bunch... it means a lot. you get through it because you have no choice, my brothers. Peace!
Highest: Watching the birth of my children.
Lowest: Figuring out my parachute did not open at all and the emergency one opened up incorrectly.
Happy for you man.Originally Posted by lillesatan;492***0

Highest is probably my school days or passing out of basic training .Lowest was when I balooned up and got fat in the army and couldn't get off the booze .Been on the run for 15 months now and have charges to go up for when I go back so now is a contender as well but i'm stopping drinking now and i've got myself back in shape so I should be ok.
Bumpity bump
Low: ages 18-19...my life wasnt going as expected, football injury = no scholarships, relationship problems, problems at home with my parents and being forced to stay at home and go to school
High: 2 summers ago, i was 20 about to turn 21, all my friends just came together we spent a lot of time together going to the beach every day and i was in great shape and life was just good. similarly this past summer, me and my best friend lived together, we were finishing our first cycle, going to the gym everyday and hanging out by the pool and eating a lot and going out...pretty great a lot of great memories
