Thanksgiving is always a great holiday. You get to have a nice big meal with your loved ones. These days, I see each Thanksgiving as a milestone. I was diagnosed around this time of the year. When I first got diagnosed, I wasn't sure if I would make it to the next year. I would reseach via the internet to find out that the life expectancy of stage IV is about 8 months. Less than 10% make it to 5 years. I got so depressed, but I really shouldn't be reading these things online because everyone's life expectancy is different. I don't know what mine will be, but I am excited to know that I made it to a year. Hopefully there will be more years to come.
