Journal entry by Suzann Gastreich

I hope you are all having a GREAT start to your Thanksgiving.

I personally am having a great start to the day thinking about just how THANKFUL I am for all of you!! 

You have all sent good thoughts, prayed for me, advice, brought us food (and good ice), given me rides, and pushed my cart through Target when I couldn't quite manage :)  I feel so loved & blessed to be so supported.  I could have never gotten through this battle without all of you.

Another thing I am thankful for is that fact that I woke up this morning feeling good & for the first time since January, I slept on my side last night!!!  With all the surgeries, I have only been able to sleep on my back and propped up.  It is a BIG sign that my life is starting to return to my "new normal".  I am not quite sure what that new normal will look like, but for the first time in 2 years, I am feeling pretty good about the future.

Today is only good news and hopefully good times ahead!!

My taste buds are back, my hair is growing steadily, I am driving on my own, and I am able to reach & do things that I haven't done in quite a while.  My body is healing and with your help in the coming year I hope to make some great new memories to make this battle with Cancer just one minor story in hopefully a long life story!

Thank you again for all your support!!  I would love to spend some time with you in the near future.  I am so THANKFUL of everything that everyone has done for our family!!!

I hope you all have a Very Happy Thanksgiving!!!!!

Love to all-

Suz
