Re: What are we thankful for this thanksgiving?
I am thankful for so many things hard to pick out just a few to list.
I am thankful to God who restored my joy 10 days after dx, and that I finally learned what it means to turn something over to God.
I am thankful for being NED, almost 3 years after diagnosis, despite 10 positive lymph nodes
I am thankful for this board, those who run and contribute to it, because it provides not only information, but more importantly, inspiration
I am thankful for my beautiful sweet daughter, who really took care of me through two surgeries, chemo, radiation, Tykerb (bad reaction) and herceptin, and just graduated with her degree in Sociology, which she earned online, while caring for me.
