The holidays can be a very hard time to be in treatment. 2 years ago I was facing the same issue with my school age grandsons. Since I was very immune compromised and had already been in the hospital after the previous treatment, we chose not to have a family dinner. Instead we FaceTimed with each other and we’re very thankful that we could at least share the holiday through that. We chose to do the same thing for Christmas, and I was able to watch my grandsons open their gifts, and share in their excitement. Although not the way I would have liked to spend the holidays, it was better than nothing, especially since Covid was still rearing its head pretty strong. My grandsons were very aware that it was important for me to stay safe and not get any type of infection, all they really wanted was for me to beat cancer and they were happy I could be a part of the celebration even though I couldn’t be there. Now that I am almost 2 years of being cancer free, it all seems like a blur, I’m so very blessed to be alive and doing well that time apart made us stronger, we learned we was truly important over the holidays and that is the love we share and a faith led praying family can can weather a storm with God walking us through it!

This year we are doing Thanksgiving potluck style. Normally my mom and Aunt do all the cooking and hosting. I thought we would skip it, but my mom has been looking forward to Thanksgiving since she was in the hospital. So in order to help her keep her valued tradition, everyone else will be cooking 😀

Thank you Elaine8! You will get through this. Nice to connect with you.

Thank you for sharing your experience. We are sort of thinking along those lines as well. Only 1 wk from from 1st Round. Will need to track counts. Also don't want to be exposed days before next Round
