How do you fight an invisible opponent like suspicion?

Pain is temporary. Eventually it will subside. If I quit, however, the surrender stays with me.

If children have the ability to ignore all odds and percentages, then maybe we can all learn from them. When you think about it, what other choice is there but to hope? We have two options, medically and emotionally: give up, or fight like hell.

I'm not willing to put a percentage on the chances but I will no longer rule it out.

Giving up was never an option

I figure the faster I pedal, the faster I can retire.

I'm not trying to justify myself, or say I'm not sorry, or not contrite.
