Marty's PMC Story, Pt. II - More Reasons to Ride...

Earlier this season I posted my PMC story here. I talked about a classmate of mine from high school who battled with cancer and passed away within a year after graduating.

Since I’ve started this journey, (and even before), I have learned (and continue to learn) how cancer has affected other people that I know:

• Right before my 20th High School reunion I reconnected with a good friend from school who wasn’t going to be attending. His reason: his wife had just recently passed away from cancer and he needed to be home with his 7 year old son.
• I’ve also learned about another classmate whose family has been battling Multiple Myeoloma (blood cancer).
• I learned through FaceBook that someone I dated briefly is a cancer survivor.
• I also reconnected with a former college roommate who has just recently been battling Multiple Myeoloma.

Just recently, my step-father was diagnosed with Renal Cancer. Luckily they think they caught it in time. He is currently waiting to schedule a date to remove his kidney.
