How he handled it was amazing to me but the overwhelming support he received from the Nascar family should be used as a role model for others to follow. Support can mean the difference between being able to handle the hand that was dealt and giving in and losing to the disease. Please, if you (fellow bloggers) know someone fighting cancer or any severe disease, show your support even something as simple as a card, email, or promise of in my prayers can help.<BR/><BR/>PS JD I'm glad that Daytona helped you decide to create this blog and I am hoping it will cause you to be able to continue it. Through your blog I feel we are part of the Nascar fan family and that's secial too.Newracefanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16324764517098771035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-12851522909943739542007-12-27T17:59:00.000-05:002007-12-27T17:59:00.000-05:00The old Indian saying "don't judge until you walk ...The old Indian saying "don't judge until you walk in my moccasins" rings true here.

As a survivor of early stage breast cancer since 10/21/94 I am amazed at the human spirit - my treatments only lasted 9 months, his was much longer and MANY more surgeries and treatments . Yet he persisted & kept his life as "normal" as he could. <BR/><BR/>Bob is an inspiration to me, to keep going. If by some chance you have not read the entire article, go read it now. It will put any aches or pains in a new perspective.<BR/>Thank you Bob for putting your story in such eloquent words, and many thanks John for the link.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-72514042907609486112007-12-27T11:45:00.000-05:002007-12-27T11:45:00.000-05:00I read Bob's story as well, it truly is inspiring,...I read Bob's story as well, it truly is inspiring, and definitely deserves a read by everyone.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02009046883462925303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-13755222377379874482007-12-27T07:11:00.000-05:002007-12-27T07:11:00.000-05:00If you haven't read Bob's story, go read it now.It...If you haven't read Bob's story, go read it now.<BR/><BR/>It's inspiring, funny, and scary, all at once.<BR/><BR/>I'm glad you're such a fighter, Bob.

So I was shocked when I read Bob's article on Tuesday about the terrible battle he has been going the past year. It was the most horrifying thing I have read in a long time. It sent chills up my spine and brought tears to my eyes. I have no idea how Bob was able to deal with the toll the disease took on him, and I'm not sure I would have been half as strong as he was. <BR/><BR/>I am so thrilled he is doing well now, and wish him nothing but the best. I look forward to reading his articles throughout the 2008 season.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-46010347085527648502007-12-26T22:03:00.000-05:002007-12-26T22:03:00.000-05:00Bob Margolis is a real hero.

If I ever face something like Bob's endured, I hope that I can summon even a fraction of Bob's courage. He's now one of my heroes. <BR/><BR/>As a sidebar, it's interesting but not surprising that there was a "South Shore" sized swell of support from all corners of the NASCAR family. It's one more thing in a long list that makes our sport, and those inside of it, uniquely special.Tripphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15961339747449141551noreply@blogger.com
