Looking for friends!

Hi,
I've been on the side for a while, but have only started using it seriously for a few weeks. I'm recovering from Hodgkin's Lymphoma, a cancer in my chest near my heart. I have a few treatments left, but it looks like I'm close to kicking the disease. I've decided I never want to go through that again, so it's time to get really healthy and change my lifestyle to a more active one.

I'm also an opera singer, and it's much easier to have a successful singing career if you are thin, fit, and attractive, than if you are overweight. So that's my other goal, for the sake of my career, is to make myself as attractive as I can. (I can't change my face, but I can change my body ;)

Anywho... I'd love to find more friends that are going through this journey as well, as I think it'll help with motivation...

So, add me!

    Hey! I've got you on my list now. I'm glad to hear you're doing well in your fight. Cancer a b@%*# and needs to go! My mother just finished chemo and I want to get myself into shape partially because mortality becomes for evident when you're faced with it yourself or with loved ones.

    You'll have plenty of support around here. :)
