What are you thankful for today-Monday?

I am thankful that I got to talk to my sister, Cyndi, today.  She's the one battling cancer.  She was having a rough day today & she said that I helped her work through it.  I'm very lucky to have this amazing woman in my life, & to be my real-life sister too.

Tuff that dang Cancer!   Lost my best friend last year after an 8 year battle. 

   I am greatful that my husband just cleared from radiation and chemo from cancer last week.    Only issue he is low in magnesium.  Goes back every six weeks for follow ups for the next year or so.      

Caroline, that's wonderful news!!

Many prayers for your sister.  Yesterday, I was thankful for my head hitting the pillow to get a good night sleep.  I was exhausted from working until 230am that morning.

I'm sorry to hear about your sister, Ann.  I will keep her and you in my prayers.  My ex-husband battled colon and rectal cancer and unfortunately, he didn't go to the doctor until it was in Stage 4.  He lost his battle earlier this year.  He was only 42.  Cancer sucks!!

I am thankful that I've had the pleasure of raising one of the best kids ever for the past 16 years.  Yesterday was his birthday and we had a great family dinner and celebration.

I'm thankful for all the people battling cancer and the grace and strength they all show, teaches me alot!  my boss just finished with her chemo a month ago (uterine cancer).  prayers to all those battling cancer. lys

Sorry I missed this yesterday, but I am thankful for all those with Cancer and hope they do better. I am thankful to be alive.

What an interesting route today's posts have gone.  Kinda puts things into perspective, though, doesn't it?  There but for the grace of God, go I.  Yes, Cyndi IS an inspiration to me.  I wish she would be more agressive with the way she oversees her treatments, but I know she's not going to, which makes me crazy.  Aside from that, she is managing to juggle quite a lot on her plate.

I'm NOT thankful for anyone with cancer...I AM grateful that they find the strength to put up a good fight.  And I think we, as their family & friends, add to that strength just by way of loving them, supporting them, & helping them as much as we can or as much as they will let us.  Sometimes the hardest part for us, is knowing when to back down & allow them some dignity to make their own choices, even if we don't agree.  Something I struggle with in dealing with Cyndi's situation.  But I HAVE to respect her.
