On this date last year, I received the dreaded phone call from my surgeon telling me that what he thought was stage 1, was in fact stage 2 with a Grade 3 tumor and LVI. My world came tumbling down and I had no tears left to cry. My life changed forever. Here I am 3 days before Thanksgiving and cooking for 30 people.
As I cooked, I cried. I went through the motions like a robot.
Fast forward...one year later
On Nov 4th of 2016, I was in surgery and the same date this year, I was buying a new car! I did not realize the date until I was at the dealership signing papers. Wow...what a difference a year makes.
As stated, today is the anniversary date of my pathology report.....fast forward this year.....My first grandchild was born at 6:01 this morning. WHAT A DIFFERENCE A YEAR MAKES! I would love to share a picture of him, but I can not figure out how to embed a photo.
I hope that this positive streak continues...
Wishing all of you on this forum, a wonderful Thanksgiving filled with positive thoughts and outcomes!
