what I am grateful for this thanksgiving

KATE58

This thanksgiving I am grateful for every sunrise.
I am grateful for my BFF Bonnie who has never missed a chemo session,
She has been with me for every scan,and only missed one doctor appt'
but when she called me to tell me she couldn't make it because of a problem her
daughter was having, she had already arranged
for another friend to go with me.you can't pick your family.but you pick your friends
and I picked a real winner.

I am grateful for this website and all the people who talk to me,advise me and comfort me
My friends do this too,but the difference is they don't have cancer and I always felt
a bit "in a group of one".

Now I know I am not alone and it makes me feel stronger and less afraid.
THANK YOU ALL !!

I hope every one has a HAPPY THANKSGIVING !!!!!!!!! :-) :-]
GOD BLESS US EVERYONE

What a
Lovely friend you have! mine kind of scattered away when they learned of my dx, but I do have a few left I give thanks for my kids and husband, who stand by me and are with me here at home helping me out and acting like little moms to me

That was lovely Kate, and I hope Everyone here has a blessed Thanksgiving, I plan on gaining at least 30 lbs, and not giving a crap lol...


You will never be alone with this Kate, as long as we're here, no one will be, I hope everyone out there is well, and everything comes out positive on their tests, scans, surgeries, etc...I have been thankful for this board as well, it's been a great comfort, meeting people like you all, I love you all.

Hugsss!

what I'm thankful for
I am thankful for my family- my husband and three kids. My family and extended family have been great- my mom lives nearby and brings me home from chemo each time I have to go in.
I am thankful for friends- you do find out who your true friends are, the ones who keep checking on me, (and then there are the ones that still don't know what to say- so they've disappeared- I think most of us probably know of a few people in our lives like that). But the true friends have been awesome!
I am thankful for people who barely knew me who went out of their way to prepare meals for my family on my chemo days.
I am thankful for my furry dog Zelda, who is my shadow wherever I go in the house.
I am thankful for where I live- I have a home near hills and a creek- very peaceful.
I am thankful for HOPE- in that there's always something to look forward to, whether it be for my cancer treatments or something that a family member is dealing with. Never lose hope!
I am most of all thankful for my faith in Jesus Christ. I feel and believe He is carrying me through this all and giving me a strength that I never knew I could have.

Blessings to you all this Thanksgiving!
