What are you thankful for?

I am thankful for Dr. Rampurwala, my chemotherapy doctor at the University of Chicago. I was diagnosed with stage four breast cancer that spread throughout my body. He gave me a 3- to 5-year life expectancy, and I am very thankful that he researches all the drugs for me and I’m still going after 5 1/2 years. I'm on three chemos for life, so thank God he’s a young doctor! He’s wonderful!
