The strength that both of you are showing through this ordeal is inspiring and I really admire the fact that you're able to keep your sense of humor about it. The fact that Susan can encourage you to get on your bike is completely over the top - that takes a lot of strength. Keep it up and hang in there - Andrew Hey Fatty – just heard the news and wanted to check in to tell you Janet and I are thinking about both of you.

My stiff back and legs are yours for this fight. I know good ol' Dave would say the same thing. You should recieve shortly a good dose of biking/yardwork/bricklaying karma from here in Virginia.

As a Fat Female with a 0%-body-fat husband, I kind of like the idea of a man who has to watch what he eats. Makes me want to open a bottle of champagne and enjoy it with 5 lbs of Chevre. Not exactly non-sexual (for those who live for chevre), and definitely not manly. (PS Fatty - I've also ridden the C-trail and you have my prayers.)

Eldon, you seem like an ok guy and all, but your wife rocks. Please tell her I said so. BTW, good job on the additional weight loss. Soon you will weigh less than me and I will have to duct tape my mouth shut for a week. Mrs. FC is amazing. Eldon, you seem like an ok guy and all, but your wife rocks. Please tell her I said so.

I've been looking forward to the story of your eventual triumph at Leadville and that elusive sub-9 hour ride as much as if I was going to do it myself. But now I find I'm looking forward even more to the story of your wife's triumph over this disease. Your site has brightened my days in ways I’m not eloquent enough to enumerate.

I totally agree about the ride thing, though. 2-3 weeks ago a very close family member of mine was diagnosed (again, for, like the 4th time) with scarily similar cancer. She's done the whole surgery trip already, which didn't work out, and is now awaiting chemo. The very best thing for me was going for a leg busting ride every now and again. Hang tough.

I am glad, for your wifes' sake that she is wise enough to understand that you need the release of a good hard ride to be your strongest for her. Do not forget to rely on God liberally. My brother with cancer - His was metastacised (sic?) as well. He lost a neck muscle, and most of his neck-area lymph nodes - Who needs em?! Not a strong cancer survivor, anyway. Make sure that the medical care your wife is getting is radically opposed to the cancer coming out of this thing on top. My brother found a team willing to employ a very severe and unusual therapy for his particular type of cancer - it was one of those strains where the previous best answer was: "Sorry... We don't have anything to help you... better get your life in order." He did not accept that, and instead found a group willing to go out on a limb. Life is worth it. LiveStrong! Listen, (I do not think my brother would object), from now on my constantly worn LiveStrong radiation yellow bracelet will be a prayer reminder for me to pray not only for my brother, but also for Mrs. Fatty. Steve Again, Eldon, my prayers are with you, your wife & your family.
