Life
Lance Armstrong's life changed greatly when he was diagnosed with stage three testicular cancer. His prognosis was not good because the cancer had spread to his lungs and brain. When Armstrong was told that his chance3s of survival were slim, he decided to fight the disease in ever way he could. He sought and received many different expertise opinions on how to treat the disease Armstrong gathered information and studied the disease so he was able to decide the best possible treatment for himself. Because of his cancer, Armstrong was forced to put his professional bicycling career on hold. After three months of intense chemotherapy, Lance's body positively responded to the chow, which successfully eliminated all cancer cells from his body.
After Lance recovered from cancer, he began to train for the Tour de France in the challenging mountains of France. Armstrong's relentless determination and strong will propelled him back onto the international cycling circuit. The next stop for Lance would be the classic Tour de France. This book also explains the courting of Lance's wife and the birth of his son. It's Not About the Bike is an inspiring story about the spirit of Lance Armstrong's struggles and successes. You will walk away from this book with a true understanding of what strength and determination are.

Eye-opening and thought-provoking
Not
only is the book wonderfully written, it is eye-opening in every respect. Everybody knows somebody with cancer, but who really knows what they go through? This book brought me one step closer to understanding what it means to be a cancer patient. I was also fascinated by all the cycling references and stories. I finished it in 3 days.

READ THIS BOOK: It changed me. Beautiful writing.
I picked up this book in the juice store in San Jose on a trip. Someone I knew had given a moving speech on Lance, and I love inspiring stories. I have read a few. None, and I mean none so damn well written. The words, the descriptions, and the story, is so deep, and so well-written, that it was incredibly hard to put down. You start to get to know a real person, and all his defeats, his hardship, his anger, and his emergence as a real winner in face of it all. It is the best read in all of my carefully selected dozen books in the last few months. I highly recommend it!!! I love you Lance Armstrong! You are amazing!!
