Jamie Whitmore, 43, isn't used to slowing down. The professional athlete who became a gold medalist of Olympics for the disabled has never met a challenge she couldn't overcome, whether it was a mountain bike race-or cancer.
One morning in 2007, Whitmore found her leg muscles were tight when trying for a jog. Thinking she’d pushed herself too hard in the last race, she ignored the pain. Later at a sports camp in Arizona, she realized something was wrong. “Once I got on my bike I was so painful that it was hard to pick my legs up. I flew back home to go to a hospital.” What doctors found shocked them all: Whitmore had a soft tissue tumor (肿瘤)that started in the bone, and the tumor was wrapped around her nerve of waist, touching several vital organs.
After the surgery, Whitmore had to learn to walk again with the help of a physical doctor. She also started radiation treatment, but four months later, doctors had worse news: A scan had shown the cancer was back. “This time it was more aggressive. Doctors took the rest of my nerve in the waist, and removed some cancer from my tail bone. ” Whitmore developed sepsis(败血症) from the surgery and endured a two-month recovery. “My scans were coming back clear of cancer, but now I had all of these other complications(并发症).”
Today, Whitmore is a mother and cancer-free. She has won a gold medal in the Paralympics, and has set two world records. Whitmore has some advice for others with limitations: Never let anyone tell you what you can and cannot do. You have to find out yourself. Some doctors told me I would never ride anything more than a stationary bike. And yet I rode my mountain bike 104 miles climbing from 9,000 feet to 14,000 feet. You just can't give up.”
