    Default Riding with Cancer

    Anyone here still riding just after being diagnosed with cancer and taking chemotherapy or radiation treatments? Or is this the wrong place to post this?

    There should be absolutely no reason to stop riding because of a cancer diagnosis. You may need to take a break to recuperate after surgery or a tough round of chemo (which can knock you down physically for a period of time!). But the trike will wait patiently for you to feel better, and will happily take you out in the breeze to blow away your struggles for an hour or so as soon as you feel up to it.

    Yeah it's tough, I have to stop and rest sometimes every 20 minutes or so of riding. Sure made me slow down and appreciate the world around me.

    My wife rides with me and has had cancer for three years. She has again been on chemo for past 11 months and takes treatment everyother week. When arrange our rides in the period approx 2-3 days prior to next treatment when she feels best. Rides are shorter in the 80-100 mile range and get off every approx 30 minutes to walk and prevent blood clots. We usually ride for 1/2 day. Carpe Diem.

    Buster that sounds like me except I've just started on her journey. I know how she feels and glad to hear she still rides with you. The chemo sure takes alot out of you. The first time I got back on my trike I felt like just riding off into the sunset lol and not turning back to go home. Tell her to keep up the fight and that she's given me hope I'll be riding for a long time.

    I've had 2 cancers, prostate 5 years ago and kidney this year. Fortunately did not need chemo either time. Some infections beat the heck out of me. But I still going strong, keep positive thoughts.
    Remember it's not how many times that you get knocked down, but how many times you get up.

    Six years ago I had cancer and spent several months in Houston at MD Anderson. I couldn't make the trip down on the trike so the wife rode the trike to Houston and I did get some time on the trike. Most of it with her at the handlebars but at least I was on the trike. I had four months of Chemo the last two with daily rounds of chemo and radiation. By the end I could barley crawl on the trike but my loving wife would help me get on and take me for a ride about every other day or so. Was the best therapy I could of had. Ride as much as you feel like and enjoy all you can.

    i can relate with all of you about that nasty C word. my wife was diagnosed with breast cancer 5 years ago and after a double masectomy and reconstruction she was really down in the dump and did not want to do anything including riding on the back of my trike. i wanted her to start living again so i thought that maybe if i bought her a trike for just her she would maybe get out of the slump she was in. well i went out and bought her a sportster trike and her attitude turned around completely. she loves her new toy and we ride almost every weekend together and she even takes it to work once in a while. we went to Daytona for Biketoberfest. and she had her bike pinstriped and a breast cancer survivor ribbon painted on it and she thinks it looks so cool now. she even had a tattoo of the breast cancer ribbon with survivor written over it to match her bike and i never thought that would happen , but whatever makes her happy is all that matters. i know how you spouses are feeling and all i can tell you is to be very, very, very patient as your other half is as scared as you are. give them all the support you can as they are going thru pure Hell and need help to get thru the hard chemo treatments ahead of them. God bless you all and your families as you will need his help to get thru this. if you are not the religious type pray if you know how or just ask God for his help as you will both need it. ride safe , Dan

    This is exactly the site where it is possible to talk of your physical impairments and difficulties.

    We won't feel overly sorry for you as none of us wishes that but we will share our experience strength and hope!

    I am not a very religious person in the classical sense of the word, but i am fairly spiritual and have a belief that god can do for me what i can't do for myself, and i think i have proof of that today!

    It is only through greater humility that i have ever been able overcome adversity.
    Like you, I didn't ask god to remove my problem, I just gave it to him because i couldn't handle it, And was willing to accept whatever solution he came up with.
    In that way i was able to align my will with his will for me and see my problems as difficulties to be overcome?

    I pray for your full recovery and don't be shy about telling us of your conquests over your difficulties, though they may be small conquests to begin with?

    I believe that every man has a gift and a legacy to offer, though that man be great or be he small.
    Bless you, I look forward to your posts my friend.

    Thanks all.

    Thats one thing I'd never want, people feeling sorry for me. I've had a pretty good life. The chemo really knocks you down but I almost feel normal and can ride the last part of the second week before it starts all over again.

    It's good reading everyones replies. I'm so glad to hear the survivor stories and that they continued to get back up and ride, thats what I'm shooting for. Might have to take it a small ride at a time but thats OK cause I'm seeing things I'd missed before.

    Again thanks all, and keep up the fight!

    Several people here have been hit with not only cancer but a lot of other affliction and were able, depending on what their body said, to get back into the breeze. Sometimes modifications have to be made to help them out, but with a little practice it can be done. Don't give up a sport you love and enjoy, no matter what.You never know, maybe taking a ride now and then will blow that cancer away. Enjoy it while you can.

    Ray

    Thank you Ray, I appreciate you comments, your a decent guy!

    Difficulties such as ours force us to see what is really important and what isn't?

    Surprisingly instead of limiting me, my difficulties have given me more freedom in thought,word and deed and i have found it to be a shorter distance between my head and my heart than it used to be if that makes any sense?
    Random acts of kindness no longer embarrass me.

    I can be outrageous and turn on a dime to compassion in just about any given situation.
    My physical difficulties Dont define me, rather they refine me, and this thread shows me I'm not the only one!

    well, it looks like all of you are coping well with the hand you were dealt. i know it's not the end of the world and you can beat that big nasty disease and i hope you all do, but while you pray for your loved one say a extra prayer for all who are in the battle of their lives.

    I was diagnosed with advanced throat cancer over 10 years ago and given less than a 10% chance of surviving. Luckily I was in great physical shape or I wouldn't be here, but I mostly am. Radiation is a gift that keeps on taking. Five years after treatment my thyroid disappeared so I live on a pill a day. Then my legs quit going where I asked them to go. I could start and ride fine but couldn't stop without simply falling over so I switched to a trike. Meanwhile, I went from 250# of bone & muscle to 160# of weakness and from 30,000+ miles per year to under 5000 - but I'm still in the wind. And if I can do it so can anybody!

    A crippled buddy suggested we call ourselves the triker crips.

    Ride on, bro!
