What am I Grateful for?

Two years ago we were sitting in the doctors office when my husband received the news he had Hodgkin's Lymphoma. My husband lost all the color in his face and was immediately nauseous. I tried not to cry. As the doctor explained our options, I started writing everything down as I knew we would not remember anything when we got home as we were in shock. Upon returning home, my husband just sat on the couch in disbelief. I immediately got on the computer and started doing research. We also called our family and gave them the news. The other thing I did, which I believe played in big part in my husbands mental state, was tell people exactly what they were and were not allowed to say to him. There would be no "I'm so sorry" or "Oh, my, you have cancer." Not on my watch!!! Everyone was instructed to be positive and says things like "What are your plans for treatment and getting healthy again" or "If anyone can be successful at staying positive through this, it is you!" After doing my research, I immediately changed his diet and eliminated all sugar - yes, all sugar! Was it hard for him? A little, but I just gave him the choice of "health or sugar?" I made sure he ate healthy, drank a lot of water and supported his system with the right supplements. We watched only comedy and positive shows on TV, no negativity of any kind was allowed in our house. We decided to get treatment at the Cancer Treatment Center of America in Tulsa as they use both traditional and non-traditional treatments. This decision would turn out to be the best one we could have ever made. They have been beyond fabulous throughout his treatment. They were amazed at his mental state, how well he responded to the treatment and how quickly he overcame Hodgkin's Lymphoma. He was declared 100% healthy a year ago and at his last scan one week ago he is still 100% healthy. So what am I grateful for this year? I am grateful that my husband is here with us, 100% healthy and following his passions! I feel blessed everyday when I wake up and see him lying next to me. Happy Holidays!
