"What are my chances? It was a question I would repeat over and over. But it was irrelevant, wasn't it? It didn't matter, because the medical odds don't take into account the unfathomable. There is no proper way to estimate somebody's chances, and we shouldn't try, because we can never be entirely right, and it deprives people of hope. Hope that is the only antidote to fear". Lance Armstrong 2002.

    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. 
    ~Lance Armstrong

    Another one I heard recently was "don't hope - do" - I have changed it for me to be "Don't just hope - do".

    I have never asked - how long?  "they" don't know - why be limited by the thoughts, perceptions and boundaries of others?  

    You go girl!

     Yes I'm with you guys, i love  inspiring stories and  also songs. Yes all we really have is our own Hope, strength and beliefs  and if this is taken away then things are difficult.

    I  came across Fran Peatt  Blog from yesterday  reminding me of a beautiful inspiring song "When you believe by Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey" the words are just so right...... Its a really beautiful song.                                 It's been out for years so have a listen to the words on you tube. (Copy and paste address)
