On October 8, 1996, Lance Armstrong made an astonishing announcement that he had been diagnosed with an advanced testicular cancer. The cancer cells had spread to other parts of his body, including lungs, abdomen, and brain. Doctors gave Lance less than 50 percent chance to survive. Without delay, Lance undertook aggressive treatments. He underwent two surgeries: one is to remove his cancerous testicle and the other is to remove two lesions in his brain. After surgeries, Lance went through extensive chemotherapies, including Ifosfamide, Etoposide, and Plationol. The combined treatments freed Lance from cancer. Suffering from cancer made Lance a stronger individual. Lance once said that cancer left him scarred physically and emotionally, but it was “…the best thing that ever happened to him.” Like everyone who faced cancer diagnosis and cancer treatment, Lance’s life changed forever. With this significant challenge on his life, Lance was determined not only to get back on the bike, but also to use his cancer experience to help others facing the cancer battle. Determined to make come-back to his beloved sport of cycling, Lance entered the 1999 Tour de France competition and won the title. Lance went on to win six more consecutive Tour de France titles from 2000 to 2006. Lance defeated cancer and won an unprecedented 7 straight Tour de France titles, which is heroic achievement. Lance created the Lance Armstrong Foundation to provide information, support, and hope to other cancer patients and survivors. Through his foundation, he became a strong advocate for improved cancer care and education. Retiring from his sport of cycling, Lance continues to advocate on behalf of cancer patients across the U.S. and around the world. He strives to build cancer awareness for all. Lance became a ‘cancer hero’ to the millions of individuals fighting cancer world wide.
