3 yr cancerversary--how to thank friends in support group?

peggy_j

I was Dx'd on Feb 11, 2011 (the same day Hosni Mubarek resigned in Egypt.  I'll always remember that date. Perfect if I appear on Jeopardy in 20 years.  

I haven't done anything for my past cancerversaries, but this past year I had a couple scares in Cancerland (all turned out fine), and the members of my Guided Imagery Support group were really great. I only go to this group about once a month, but they are my lifeline. When issues arise, it seems like the only people who really understand are those who've had cancer, too. (we also keep in touch via email)

Anyway, I want take something to this week's meeting to help celebrate and thank them. My first thought was some kind of snack. I don't want to just bring, say, cookies, but having a cake seems like too much. (not to mention, sweets aren't exactly healthy). So my latest thought was that I might take a bouquet of mixed flowers and have everyone take a few stems. What do you think? (nice gesture or too corny?) Other thoughts or suggestions?

Congratulations on your 3 year Cancerversary!  We are so happy you found a group that is so supportive.  Anything you do to show appreciation would be wonderful, having everyone take a few stems from a bouquet of flowers sounds wonderful, not corny.

Best wishes,

I think that is an awesome idea. It is great that you have found a group to give you support and they are luck to have you for support. I really like the flower idea!

Great, thanks a lot Mods and mrenee68. I think I'll go with the flowers. (sometimes I have ideas I like, and then a couple days later I'll wake up: "what was I thinking?"
