Cancer Survivor and Hiker on Bear Mountain

Lauren Terrazzano writes a column in Newsday. In the 20 March 2007 edition of this New York newspaper, it is titled "Feeling on top of everything, briefly."

She writes about a March hike up New York's Bear Mountain on the Appalachian Trail with a few friends. Not the biggest mountain on the Trail, sure, but then most of you readers have twice the lungs that Terrazzano has. As in two. She lost one of hers to cancer in 2004.

Kind of puts some things in perspective.

She concludes her column with "That's the thing about cancer. There are a lot of peaks and valleys. One minute you're on the top of the mountain, the next minute you're at the base of the trail again."
