Members reflected on what they are most thankful for as cancer patients approaching Thanksgiving, with gratitude for faith, family support, and remission emerging as the most powerful and recurring themes throughout the conversation. Several members described how their relationship with God has sustained them through their cancer journey, while others expressed deep appreciation for the medical teams who treated them, the gift of waking up each day, and the practical help from loved ones during challenging times like caregiving and relocation. A recurring theme was finding hope and purpose in both small daily blessings and major milestones like long-term remission, with members celebrating life itself as the greatest gift of all.

My family....we just recently moved from North Carolina to Pennsylvania to be closer to family. I have NHL and my husband has vascular dementia. We have gotten so much help and support since we have been here. Our middle daughter comes three days a week to take over care of my husband, her Dad, so I can take a break. Might have to get someone at night also....he walks around a good bit of the night...So far, he has been okay with the move. I am thankful for all the help. My sister in law helped me with setting up a new bank account and getting internet service. Another sisiter in law made food and baked goods and brought them over. Everyone has been so helpful...our daughters have helped with unpacking and organizing , etc.

I am thankful that God wakes me up every day, that I’m strong, can walk, talk. Have good friends and family that care about me. Most importantly that God loves me ❀️

To be alive. Each day is a gift. I have 5 types of cancer in my body. I have fought a good fight and look forward to each day. I am grateful for the support of my family and friends...and my two dogs. Wow. I have a place to call home, food on my table and lots of love. And of course, good medical care.
