I've always loved to write as it's something that I've done from my days in high school. I did journalism courses. But that wasn't the goal that I'd set for myself. As to the games themselves they've been really exhilerating to watch. And now as they're reaching their culmination. We'll now have to wait until London 2012. abritishman ......... floridagrama1

With regard to Shanteau , you're right when you state that it's dependent upont the type of cancer. But in younger men there is cause for concern as it can spread through the body rather quickly if unchecked and treated aggressively. And even with certain types of drugs it's not always possible to treat the cancer as you've stated without an acute diagnosis. Shanteau and his doctor'll no doubt do what's best for him. But should there be a problem I for one don't think that he'll risk his health. Hopefully though things'll prevail and he'll have a successful games. abritishman ............. Benji

But who for now chooses to forego the radical treatment of chemotherapy in order to compete in the upcoming games. Some may well see it as foolhardy, whilst others may view it as him being brave and patriotic more than anything else." There is nothing to suggest he will need Chemo. First step is to remove the testicule. The pathology will determine that course of treatment. From the result of the blood tests, he may well have seminoma, which is a very slow cancer. It is quite possible that the operation alone could cure him. Non seminoma, which Lance had, can be very agressive, and in a month could be everywhere. Nothing is absolute, but the tests would indicate that he caught it early, and it is most likely seminoma. Chemo is not a standard treatment for seminoma. surveilance, or radiation, or if very advanced, then chemo. I also dont think it is right to say he is going against medical advice. Eric is not a daredevil, as his agent says. Obviously, they would rather have the surgery to determine pathology sooner than later, but none of his Dr are calling him crazy. I cant say for sure, but I suspect he is probably with seminoma as a result of the blood tests. There are variables to everything, and what he is doing is to HIS situation. I had very agressive Tc. It was probably more than 2 months before I finally got in to do the surgery. Once he has the testicule removed, then he can go from there.

All that I did was make sure that it'd be part of the RSS comments in order for others to view. I've been a continuous blogger for a while now (2 1/2 years) within various sport's forums. But I decided to branch out somewhat on my own. Primarily because of my passion for sports in gerneral. Though my interest beyond sports are wide ranging. As for the Olympics I'll be doing small snippet on them covering various events as the games commence. So keep a look out for those . And thanks once again for the compliments ! abritishman ........

Very impressive that this blog is syndicated through Google and is it something that is just up to Google or you actively created? Obviously this is a popular blog with great data so well done on your seo success.. The swimming greats you should write about next, my ex was an olympic swimmer!

I'll try to keep everyone abreast of the activities as much as I can. It'd appear that won't be the case over at Fox. abritishman ............ Tiff

However the story concerning Shanteau and Torres is uniquely intriguing and of interest to many I believe. Torres as the oldest female to have swam for her country. She's as competitive as of her much younger counterparts who are in some cases less than half her age. And then you've also got the story surrounding Shanteau who's been diagnosed with testicular cancer . But who for now chooses to forego the radical treatment of chemotherapy in order to compete in the upcoming games.
