Attaining mission impossible!

As one reads the title of this post, the last two words (mission impossible) seem to be ordinary. These words come from a popular TV show and a well known hollywood trilogy. Yet, this post is not fiction but reality. This is a true story of how G. Ripley dealt with an anomaly through the support of friends and family. As humans live, we deal with various medical conditions. A few posts ago, I wrote about testicular cancer. People like Lance Armstrong and Joe Torre were the true inspiration for that part of the post titled "Shock Therapy." For this specific post, I need not look no further than within myself to speak the truth. After surviving an aberration (i.e. lymphadenopathy), a human being's perspective changes and it boils down to "survival of the fittest." It was Charles Darwin who wrote this phrase in his ideals on Natural Selection. As humans, we should live by this cliche. As this post comes to an end, my closing remarks are that you must continue to monitor your body. Anything is possible and you are responsible for your actions. When you feel there is a problem, find the power within yourself to seek help. The more knowledge you can absorb, will help you attain mission impossible (a very healthy body).
