I am thankful that I have survived 5 years to this very day from my initial diagnosis (after being told to "get my affairs in order" and that "...I might not live another 6 months".
I actually still use the last day of treatment as my "official" anniversary.
I am eating some of those scratchy nuts as I write this and I am thankful that I can do that again as well.
There is hope and there is life after cancer.
