The Lance Armstrong "story" has the smell of bogusness. Is it possible
that he and his "handlers" have crafted a saga that targets Americans
and citizens worldwide that have, in these very troubled and uncertain
times, a need for superheroes, to give purpose and assurance to
uncertain lives and weak psyches.

I have several additional questions:

1) How did Lance Armstrong beat his testicular cancer which, as he's
often stated, had spread to his lungs, brains and other areas of his
body?

2) What treatment(s) were used in his "miraculous" cure?

3) Why have we not heard about persons with similarly serious cancers
overcoming their
afflictions?

4) How, without using steroidal-type chemicals, has he been able to
WIN 7 TDF RACES IN A ROW, in the face of competitors who were as
determined as he is and who doubtless as strong and conditioned (or
steroided) as Armstrong?

Which of Mr. Armstrong's fellow competitors would have received a 2
million bonus for winning the 2002 TDF/ 5 million for the 2003 TDF? and
10 million for the 2003 TDF? This string of rewards has a way of
focusing ones attention.

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt with respect to these questions,
esp. since the first 2 had occured to me.
I know no details of the particular histologic type of tumor, or the
specific chemotherapeutic agents used. He was much used in print and TV
ads by Bristol Myers-Squibb.
I did have a conversation with my internist about how a widely
disseminated tumor could have gone so rapidly into remission, and from
what he said there may have in fact been a bit of spinning of the story
to give the impression of a miraculous cure. According to him, the
particular type of cancer Armstrong had was very responsive to chemo
these days, and that cures of even advanced disease for this type of
cancer are in fact routine.
It doesn't make for as good a story, but might be even better news for
the cancer sufferers out there.

The type of cancer Lance had, was caused by over-training. The
over-training completely knocked down his immune system. In fact, it's
possible he could have skipped the chemo all together, and just taken a 6
month vacation, fishing in Wyoming, and the cancer would have gone away.

You suggest the Armstrong story has been spun to give the "impression
of a miraculous cure." I demure. Mr. Armstrong's recovery has
consistantly attributed to the drug cocktail. This fact is made
abundantly clear in the Bristol Meyers - Squibb commercials you
reference. I find it difficult to understand how anyone who watched
those commercial's could walk away with the "impression of a miraculous
cure". It is my opinion that it if anyone is spinning it is you,
and a weak strawman at that.

He is more dedicated to winning the TDF than the other guys. He prepares
better and is blessed with good genes.
