lance armstrong its not about the bike,
1 of 1 found this helpful The book is well written, and flows in a novel- book manner. The story of Lance Arrmstrong is well known, but this book, gives us the details behind the comeback. And that Lance Armstrongs' recovery was not by his true will alone, but by also the love and guidance of a strong-willed mother and devoted friends. It reinforces the need for second opinions in urgent and specialized medical medicine and procedures. It shows the reader the effects of cancer and chemotherapy on the person. It also reminds the reader the fragility of life, that anyone, at anytime, no matter how healthy or how fit one may be, a sudden life ending event can occur. My mother is a cancer survivor, and so is my brother. And because of their current state of good health, I sometimes forget that they had cancer, that they had surgery and radiation. That they had many times thought of not being cured, of dying. My family is truly blessed that they are here today and my mom was really happy that we had a family portrait taken this Christmas year. To those who ride bicycles, who knows what cancer is, who knows someone who has or had cancer, the story of Lance Armstrong is uplifting. But for those who has or had cancer, Lance Armstrong is an inspiration. I urge everyone to read this book, donate to his charity, but most of all LIVESTRONG.
