Stuart Scott in his most recent battle with cancer IT RECENTLY CAME BACK A THIRD TIME. TO BE HONEST, I’M SCARED. I’VE ALWAYS BEEN AFRAID OF CANCER, BUT THIS TIME FEELS DIFFERENT. MY CONFIDENCE IS SHAKEN. I’M A LITTLE MORE VULNERABLE, A LITTLE MORE AWARE OF MY MORTALITY, A LITTLE MORE UNCERTAIN ABOUT MY FUTURE… IN 20 YEARS I’D LIKE TO BE RETIRED, LIVING SOMEWHERE WARM NEAR A GOLF COURSE. BUT CANCER MAKES THAT FEEL A LITTLE LESS REALISTIC. I STILL BELIEVE IN IT, BUT NOW I’M NOT SO SURE. SO EVERY OTHER MONDAY, I KEEP GOING TO THE GYM. I KEEP FIRING UP THE P90X. I KEEP WORKING OUT, EVEN WHEN THE CHEMO MAKES ME WANT TO JUST GIVE UP. THAT’S BECAUSE WORKING OUT IS MY WAY OF SAYING TO CANCER, “YOU’RE TRYING TO INVADE MY BODY; YOU’RE TRYING TO TAKE ME AWAY FROM MY DAUGHTERS, BUT I’M STRONGER THAN YOU. AND I’M GOING TO HIT HARDER THAN YOU. I KNOW YOU’RE GOING TO HIT BACK JUST AS HARD, AND I KNOW SOMETIMES YOU’RE GOING TO KNOCK ME DOWN. BUT I’M GOING TO GET UP, AND I’M GOING TO KICK YOUR ASS.” AFTER A REALLY GREAT WORKOUT, SOMETIMES I EVEN BELIEVE IT.
