"I am thankful that there was an effective treatment* for my disease and that it was caught early. I am thankful that I had friends & family to lean on – I don’t like being vulnerable, but being so was freeing in the end. It also taught me how to be a better ‘carer’, and I am thankful for that."

"I lost a love to cancer. He was just about to enter a clinical trial, but didn’t make it. I was crushed and certainly not feeling thankful. It took a few years. Over the years, I watched the drug that he was supposed to get finally make it to market after showing very good results. Now, I am thankful that it is available and has been successful for so many.
