Christmas is a special time of year for me now - I received my first clean scan last December. A good friend of mine just sent an e-mail that her most recent PET scan (after relapsed Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma and a stem cell transplant) is clean. She's expecting her first grandchild in a few weeks. Christmas has a whole new meaning for her too.
Cancer has a way of awakening our eyes to what is really important in life. I'll look forward to seeing my kids faces when they open their presents tomorrow. But, the most important part of Christmas is that I get to be here to share it with them. That is the gift that Christmas offers, and a gift for which I am very grateful.
