Megan Strong.. Happy Thanksgiving October 10, 2010 at 3:49pm It is Thanksgiving once again. They say its the day to say and show what you are grateful for but why cant we do that every day? Ill tell you one thing. Thanksgiving weekend has got to be one of the best weekends of the year because you get to spend it with the people who mean most to you and share a great meal. This year though, Ive got to say, has been TOTALLY different. This year has been hard and it hasnt gotten any easier yet. On May 10th, 2010, exactly 5 months ago today, I was diagnosed with Invasive Ductal Carcinoma which is the most spreadable but most common type of Breast Cancer. I want to show my appreciation today to all the doctors, specialists, tobique wellness center, KIM&NICOLE PERLEY, NIHB, my family, my friends, Steves family, Braydens fathers family, Brayden, Steve and most of all MY COMMUNITY for everything theyve done for me through this hard time. I am so thankful and grateful for you all. The people who have donated and bought tickets off of me to help me fundraise, Ramona for being my traditional healer, Diamond for sundancing and dragging skulls for me. You all mean so much to me. I am so thankful for all the love and support that I have around me during these desperate times. I have never felt more loved and more special in my life. Its amazing how well this community comes together in a time of need. I definitely could not do it without these people. I must admit, before being diagnosed I took life for granted. I treated the people I care about pretty crappy at times, I was unappreciative, unhappy at times, argumentative, negative on life. This diagnosis has totally changed my life, for the better. It has made me into the woman I am today, HAPPY, POSITIVE, grateful. I will not take life for granted anymore. I have realized what is important in life. What matters most. I know what to do to be happy. I smile all the time and its not a front, im really happy. Yes, i hurt inside on certain days but sometimes when I think about cancer and why its happened to me I have to cry, just once in a while. It doesnt bother me anymore though because I know I am going to be fine. I know I am going to fight, I know I will survive. If not, If I do not survive, then its meant to be that way. BUT I have FAITH!! Faith,positivity and prayer is all I need, along with the love and support from my family, friends and community. My attitude, my perspective on life is SO much different. I am a better woman because of this, and THAT is what I am thankful for. I love you all, keep the prayers coming and keep the faith. I am a strong woman and I will fight until there is no fight left in me. Happy Thanksgiving!
