Started Jogging to Fight Cancer
by Fernando Estrada
(Salt Lake City)
I started jogging for life as I feel I'm always fighting cancer.
Ten years ago I had renal cell carcinoma. They took my kidney and that was that. Every one (including my doctor) told me not to stress or the cancer would return. I had to drop out of nursing school because it would stress me too much (doctor's advice).
I gained 100 pounds and that's more stressful than anything I can do to my body. So I'm jogging for life and going back to nursing even if it kills me.
I'm tired of living in fear. It's time just to start living and enjoying my life.
