As we head swiftly to the Thanksgiving Holiday, I am full of appreciation and amazement as to my own thankfulness in the eye of all that has been thrust upon myself and my family in the short span of five months. Since July 2016, I myself have not had too, too many good news coming down the pike as far as the ever growing health issues that have become my being. BUT….I finally have some good news,some positive news….yes, my tumors are reacting positively to my regiment of chemo and or clinical study drugs!! They are shrinking and I could not be happier.
So, as I embrace the holiday season, I am ever thankful for the support of my family and friends and I can say without a doubt that you guys who follow my rants and raves on this blog forum, you guys really do prop me up and urge me onward when I least expect it, so thank you. Now I am going to be enjoying a turkey dinner like no other, as we do every year, in our desert oasis and I wish that all of you enjoy a fabulous holiday with family, friends and loved ones….for I am truly a testament that you never really know what may be in store for you around the corner, so take a moment and take stock and then go for the gusto…be true to yourself, but mostly embrace those around you and celebrate like no other.
