Hello again Cancer! I’m back 🏃🏼 This is Marathon #12 in the past 6 years since you tried to take my life with stage III Cancer. The minute I was diagnosed I thought of all the things I thought I would miss as You violently moved into my body: 1. Walking my oldest daughter down the aisle. 2. My youngest daughter graduate college. 3. My son being successful in the military. 4. Seeing my my grandchild. 5 Writing a book. 6. Starting a business. Every time I run a marathon, you get extremely close for a short time on the day before. I can taste again the vial taste from 8 weeks of massive radiation, the smell of the constant chemo, the nightmares, the reminder that my saliva glands and thyroid are destroyed, my jaw is painful today, my jaw is literally splitting apart from the radiation and my throat is shrinking at a rapid pace. The treatment I needed will likely significantly decrease my life span. All the feelings of my cancer fight surface at the day before the run exposition. However!!! 💪🏽 when I step off tomorrow here in Tulsa, Oklahoma for the start of 26.2 miles and 55,000 steps. You will disappear in the joy of my journey and the reminder that life is short and to enjoy every moment and I’ll file every step of this marathon journey! See you at the Expo in Hamburg in April 2019! My greatest revenge vs Cancer is massive happiness everyday! Sincerely Greg Cheek, Cancer Survivor, Author, Business Owner, Grandfather and Marathoner! 🙌🏾🔥❤️🏃🏼 #cancer #cancersucks #kumed #kuent @kuhospital @ku_ent #health #marathontraining #marathon #marathonrunner #route66marathon #route66marathon2018 #route66marathontraining @marathonacademy @route66marathon #mdandersoncancercenter #fredhutchinsoncancerresearchcenter (at Route 66 Marathon Expo) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqTjKozHbTb/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=19kj01hwx2m4f
