I had my 5-FU pumped disconnected, hopefully for the last time, on black Friday 2016. Last thanksgiving was very different from this one, as I sat alone with my father listening to the whining of my chemo pump. A year has passed since, and I am glad to say that, per my October 30th scan I am still NED. The year has been filled good times sprinkled with, blood work, scans, and anxiety, lots and lots of anxiety.
Yesterday was thanksgiving day, a holiday in the United States where people gather around with loved one and/or family and say what we are thankful for while eating lots of food. I want to say I am thankful for the people on the colon talk forum, reading your stories and keeping up with your journeys have been a tremendous help both psychologically and physically. The advice given on here was so helpful in getting through chemo, being healthy and figuring out how to live life afterwards despite all the fear.
So thank you.
