Most Are Not That Lucky

I spent most of my day in the oncology department of a local hospital,  meeting with an amazing doctor who gave me good news.....no cancer.  I do have some issues to take care of, but they are treatable.
I am blessed and lucky.   As I came back into the waiting room after the good news, there was a woman sitting there whose husband was undergoing chemo, as she heard my news she reminded me to count my blessings, that most who sat where I sat today were not that lucky.  
I have counted my blessings all evening.  Her words still ring in my head......most are not that lucky.

    I am very happy for you and Rick. You can rejoice in the good news. I go with my husband each month to the hospital where they inject him with a drug that keeps his cancer cells from growing. We feel so blessed there is medicine that keeps him alive.

    I am so happy for you and Rick, Jilda. I can imagine the relief you must have felt when you heard the good news. Our health is so important to us, especially as we get that little bit older, and I really do count my blessings every day. Wishing you and Rick a very happy, healthy and peaceful new year.

    That's wonderful news Jilda. Truly a reason to be thankful and celebrate a new year. Another blogger friend who had cancer was given the 'cancer free' good news as well. I'm just so happy for you guys. And not everyone is that lucky but even when Rich was dying from his liver cancer, we still felt blessed that he had quality of life for the last 2 of the 2 1/2 years of his life. Happy New Year my friend.
