Re: What are we thankful for this thanksgiving?
My older sister and I have both been through dx and tx and are doing well, and shared our annual Thanksgiving phone call today. We both remember how horrible treatment was and the taste of chemotherapy, and are thankful we can enjoy Thanksgiving dinner this year. To those who are now struggling to get past that truly awful experience, I am so sorry you are still dealing with it, and wish the best for you to get past it and on to better times.
