Thanksgiving
Hello fellow surviviors,
It was the night before Thanksgivng, six years ago, that I was diagnosed with Anal Cancer. What a long and painful journey it has been. During my treatment for anal cancer, they located another cancer, unrelated. When I finsihed treatment for anal cancer, I was treated for the second cancer. None of it was easy. Of all the things I am grateful for, the wonderful doctors and nurses, and my loving family, are at the top of my list. . They took great care of me and saved my life.
I found this site about a year after my first diagnosis and it was a God send! I am so grateful this year that I am here. I have made many life changes since my diagnosis. I have changed careers to a more fulfilling one( but a lot less money). I find meaning and joy in giving back and teaching children with chllenges. I smile more, stress less, and love more.
I hope that all who come here find comfort, relief from pain, and most of all a cure! I hope to visit more often again! Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving to All
One positive thing that came out of the awful diagnosis of AC was that I realized the blessings that I do have and that I have a lot to be grateful for.
This board and all who contribute are one of those blessings and I am grateful for all of your help and wisdom.
