Working on one's professional focus is really as challenging as moving to another country.<br />I have been one of those poor unfortunate souls with cancer. With a bad, aggressive hemathological disease: Burkitt's Lymphoma - treated aggresively with high dose chemotherapy. I am still running, climbing, biking and hiking. In my experience hemathologists showed a heavy focus on chemotherapy and death, and a lack of focus on life. I mean - you treat us with agressive chemotherapy, but no one focus on the time after. Quite a lot of us survive, actually. And there is a life both during and after chemotherapy. <br />Why not use your experience as an athlete and a runner for the benefit of your patients? I kept up quite a bit of training during my chemotherapy, and I have been training very dedicated ever since. <br /><br />Do you know "Krop og Kræft" on Rigshospitalet? Even if very few of your patients can join them, they can do as inspiration. We are just starting a sportsassociation for cancer patients, their relatives and other interested, MotionsPacten. We don't have a website yet, but you or others can contact me through my website www.paatoppen.com <br /><br />See you out there on the running trails<br />Best regards<br />HelleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6944565050755801503.post-11627196587162800322010-01-30T05:44:59.699-08:002010-01-30T05:44:59.699-08:00I think when we are not satisfied it means we have...I think when we are not satisfied it means we have room to grow. And we better have this room, otherwise we kind of die, if we settle in. At least I think so, although I am aware of most people who strive to settle in. That is really boring.<br />I know how you feel about going through difficulties. It is kind of adventerous, if tough. I know somebody told me a few times (a few people too) that I seek difficulties and create them. May be. After all, ultrarunning is one of those "seeking". Boring steady life is that - boring. Safe, nothing changing, yes, great family, good job, social security, nice kids...where is life? We watched "ski porn" last night (wild skiing in the mountain), I finished 3 books on climbing high mountains, read backpacker magazine...my life is boring, and I want to live! Feel the wins, the danger, the excitement! I know, I have responsibilities towards kids...You think you're stuck in Denmark because Natali is with you? You can still move with her! I am stuck in Austin because Larry will never go anywhere from his son. Don't take me wrong, I likke Austin a whole bunch, but stuck for the next 10 years? I don't think I have ever being somewhere 10 years in a row! Especially without deep forests and mountains...<br />I was talking about you guys last night. I remember how you wrote of your divorce, and passion you found for SLG. How you laid in bed, looking into each other eyes and being happy you found each other. I hope you still do that.<br />Does passion go with time because routine comes and takes over? I am always so scared of that...<br />How are others live? Are they satisfied with every day life without any "shaking up"? Is it truly ok with them? What do we know about a neighbour? Are they wondering what to do else besides go to work, cook, eat and play board games?<br />Can we stop this crazy thinking??<br />:)Olgahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00493291972954387932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6944565050755801503.post-89468315055412301302010-01-27T10:26:12.903-08:002010-01-27T10:26:12.903-08:00Must be the season for introspection.

I think your ...Maybe you just need Vitamin D :-) <br /><br />I think your feelings are pretty common -- too much time to think maybe? Perhaps you need to busy yourself more. Sounds stupid but it's true. When you're occupied you don't have as much time to worry about life's great questions.Dannihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02201053516148787578noreply@blogger.com
