Am I scared about the return of my cancer? A little, but I'm not going to let TNBC & BRCA define my life. I'm only 41 & have a whole lot more living to do.
As for your scooter thoughts....DO IT!!!!! I got my bike licence about 4 years ago & I absolutly feel alive with the engine roaring & the wind in my face. I'm sure scooters are just as much fun! I ride a Ducati Monster. We're doing North to South Vietnam for my 50th Birthday ;)
