I'm thankful that my hair, eyebrows, and eyelashes are coming back. Thankful that I threw up only once this week. Thankful that the chemo is over, the radiation is over, the cancer is gone. Looking forward to the day I can be thankful my tastebuds have returned (I can't taste anything sweet), the day my saliva isn't sticking to the roof of my mouth like peanut butter, the day the early-morning nosebleeds have stopped, the day I don't wake up wheezing like a dedicated smoker, the day the skin on my neck and chest has changed from scaly and purple back to smooth and pasty.
This will take about 8 weeks, but when that all happens, I'll be thankful then, too.
