Cancer is an equal opportunity disease. I have survived three different episodesover the past fourteen years. Strike 1 (1995): One of my radiation oncologists gaveme a 50 percent chance of surviving tongue cancer three years disease free. Strike 2(1997): Neck cancer restarted my recovery clock. Strike 3 (2008): Diagnosed withprostate cancer.Fortunately, Life Constricted isn't a baseball metaphor. It's a commentary on alifelong swimmer and chronicles my family's struggle with cancer after my dentistdetected an abnormality during a routine visit. I owe him and my personal physicianmy life. They're the core of my medical dream team.We were forced to retreat from our hurried professional path, typical of twoincomefamilies in the Bay Area. We rearranged our priorities and lived lifeconstricted to pursue its greatest opportunity-love that thrived on hugs, qualitytime, and laughter.Celebrate our reversal of misfortune.
