Happy Thanksgiving!
 

Hope everybody has a great Thanksgiving!

You guys wanna share something you are thankful for?

This morning I am thinking through with a grateful heart how my husband and children have pitched in and supported and encouraged me a million ways and made this a family fight against cancer.

Paula, what a neat idea! I'm thankful for the gift of life. A year ago, I was recovering from my lumpectomy and didn't know what plan God had for me. My family, too, has made this a family fight as well. Now....... back to cooking..... My grandsons are helping me make homemade noodles!

Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! I am thankful to be here to enjoy the company of family and friends and all the amazing people I have met the past few years. In addition I am thankful for all the advances in the medical field. There are just too many things to mention right now. . .

Happy Thanksgiving! I'm thankful for all of the wonderful people I've met in my life and the lessons I've learned from them. (Some lessons took a few sessions). I hope you all are having a nice day.

So what did everybody do for Thanksgiving?

We had a very nice family gathering at my sister-in-laws. Three of us women sitting at the table have battled breast cancer. My husband has a long line of women in his family with breast cancer (5-6 ladies) . I'm the first on my side. Anybody know at what age our daughters should start mammogram screening/SBE? Earlier than normal I imagine.

We shared laughter and tears. My BIL joked that he was going to be doing a mastectomy before he carved the turkey breast. My SIL said that her daughters have an 85% (YIKES!!!!)chance of also having breast cancer because of genetic disease she has. Whew, that's a heavy load to caarry. How I hope none of our girls have to deal with this. Last year my SIL had surgery because cancer had invaded both breasts and her kidney (different kind of cancer, not breast related) along with a pprophylactic complete hysterectomy and a whole bunch of reconstruction. This week she has a colonooscopy to follow up on 50 something polyps they saw 6 mos ago. Tough stuff.

My husband's aunt who was with us has battled breast, colon, and eyelid cancer.

Boy, I wish that we could get to the bottom of why cancer happens and what to really do with it to stop it in it's tracks and that genetic mutation messes would be a thing of the past.
