on June 20, 2003 I had a cancerous tumor removed from my breast. At the time I also had tickets to two PJ shows for July. I still needed to have more surgery to see if the cancer had spread. But I didn't want to miss my shows. The Doc's said it would be ok to wait a couple of weeks. I went to my shows knowing I had breast cancer. Not knowing what to expect. So now it is June 20,2008 and I am still in remission. I went to 5 Pearl Jam shows this past summer but none of them had the meaning that the June 20, 2008 show had. I could not wait for ALIVE was played. I cried as I sang the song along with my Mom who went to the show with me. No one knows one day to the next, but when you have a little push near the other side you really learn to want to be ALIVE. Great show good time. Pearl Jam is the best ever
Thanks for you wishes. And now this year I am going up to Toronto and both Philly shows[waiting for the announcement of the next]. Plus I got to meet Eddie outside of the Tower Theater
wow...great story! Glad to hear you are well. I also made the trek to Toronto in August...great town and a great show...Hope you have tix for the 31st in philly. Should be a memorable event!
