Touched by cancer this holiday season? Share your story

In the six months since we started this blog, we have presented the cancer stories of new patients, longtime survivors, doctors, nurses, researchers, families and friends.

These writers have shared their anger, frustration, sadness – and also joy and gratitude.

The holidays are often a time to reflect on what we're most thankful for. If you have a story you think might inspire others at this time, we'd like to share it here.

Tell us, in 200 words or less, what you're thankful for this holiday season. Drop your story in the comments below or email us at Health@Philly.com.
