Winning has always meant much to me but winning ftiends has meant the most.

It's not enough to just swing at the ball. You've got to loosen your girdle and really let it fly.

All my life I've been competing-and competing to win. I came to realize that in this way this cancer was the toughest competition I had faced yet. I made up my mind that I was going to lick it all the way. I not only wasn't going to let it kill me I wasn't even going to let it put me on the shelf.
