Holiday greetings

Posted by northoftheborder @northoftheborder, Dec 23, 2024

Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Heri za Kwanzaa, or just have a nice end-of-year break with family and friends, everyone!

I'm going to check out for a little while, because I'd like to try not to think too much about cancer over the holidays, but I'll probably end up coming back on or before New Year's Day.

In the meantime, if you're reading this, you're still here, and that's a victory in itself, whatever our futures may hold. Take care of yourselves and the people around you, and celebrate every day.

All the best from Canada,

NorthOfTheBorder

Happy Holidays to All. We all need a break. Trying the best I can to enjoy the time. Best to all.

Merry Christmas from Down Under.
We all got through a lot this year - whether it was treatment/surgery or going through endless tests & waiting for treatment/surgery - we all survived.
You really should be proud of yourself for that. You're stronger than you think.
I'm sure we're all grateful for each other's support.

This forum and you all are the best Christmas presents possible.
Well, except for my wonderful family and my Dear Lady Friend 🙂
Merry Christmas to all and to all a better than ever New Year!

Happiest of holidays to you all! I agree with north’s sentiment. All of us can do with a break from the angst to inventory our many blessings. I have a beautiful family that loves me and I care deeply about. Since my surgery 15 months ago, all’s gone very well and my lovely wife and I have enjoyed our time together. I wish the same for all of you.

Hugs and High Fives all around, gents! Let’s make the upcoming year an awesome year of good memories and love for all.

I wanted to share a post I read here some time ago. It made me laugh so much my wife came in.

A poster wrote: "I don't know anything about that medical subject, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night."

I know if you don't remember those commercials, it won't mean anything to you. He went on to say just joking and finished his post.

On this specific day I read his post I was having a very difficult day with many things overwhelming. Then I read his posts and got a tremendous laugh. It really helped and was not medical information from this poster, but the camaraderie MCC brings.

You will notice I post a lot about mental health as mental health has a profound affect on physical health and vice versa. Thanks to all since I have been on MCC from January 2023.

It's my first Christmas on this forum. I pray that we all have good news to share in 2025.
Blessings to everyone.

Hello, everyone. As promised, I'm back from my break, and have just read all the wonderful replies. Thank you.

Tonight at midnight, every one reading this thread will celebrate a major victory: being on this earth to welcome 2025 (some of you in the eastern hemisphere are already there).

Love and joy to all in the year ahead!
