My you were courageous and adventuresome to undertake all that but I guess all the previous training and group work led up to that and you had the strength of the group!
Describing your picture you mentioned post chemo - had you undergone full chemo treatments for cancer? Was all this part of your recovery and healing. Have you completely healed now? Sorry for all the questions but with all the horror stories of cancer, it is wonderful to hear of those who have healed and you do look pretty healthy in that picture.
