Congratulations!
One year out sounds wonderful.
I can imagine the fear of the cancer is always at the back of your mind. Maybe as the years pass, the thoughts will get less.
I hope you get to celebrate with your wonderful family.

A reason to celebrate
In. Our house we take any reason to celebrate and this seems good enough. Yes, cancer has had a huge i,pact on your life but as you reflect it is both good and bad. It helps us focus on what isimportant and heal relationships that need to bebetter. Your reflections feel very familiar to me nine years down the track,

sandy, you sound like you are
sandy,
you sound like you are doing great! I am so glad that your family is rallying around you and being so supportive. My husband doesn't like to talk about the "C" very much...but when I get really down or I am faced with an issue or a decision to make he is always there to listen. He is going to take the day off from work in a few weeks to go to see the specialist in Baltimore.
May you have many, many more anniverseries And special moments to celebrate with your family. I too am looking forward to graduations, weddings and grand babies someday...but my kids are a little younger 10 & 12.

Most all of us will agree that cancer stinks but many of us have a rough time finding the Silver Lining in the Clouds of Cancer. I did a post a while back asking "Has cancer been all bad for you?" and the majority of the responses were not, how shall I say it... favorable?
Many people don't realize that cancer or no cancer any day could easily be our last day. People die from accidents all the time. I'm sorry that you're dealing with cancer but I am happy that you too see the bigger picture.
May you have many more anniversaries Sandy...

May this be the first of many Anniversaries.....
You have the right attitude about looking forward to milestones and accomplishments in the future. I am still doing treatments and in the midst of cancer but the last 18 months have been so wonderful! My granddaughter was born a month before diagnosis, and now she says grandma and has me wrapped around her finger. My oldest son got a wonderful job as English dept. head at the local HS, my second son got married, the next two graduated from college, and youngest sons football team won the state championship. All of which I have been here to share. I am so happy that you are doing well and have so much to look forward to......~Ann

cancer does change us & we all learn to appreciate some things that before cancer we would not have, or we would not have appreciated to the degree we do now. i am glad you are doing good!!!
