Top 3 things you are grateful for since remission
It’s given me an awesome story to tell my future kids and grandchildren. I’m so beyond grateful that I don’t have to worry about being neutropenic anymore!! I’m so glad that I have my strength and energy back so I can actually do stuff without feeling lethargic.
