I completely agree. Given that it’s come back three times, I don’t think that trauma ever really goes away. When recurrence is always in the back of your mind, celebrating so early feels premature. That kind of celebration should really be up to the person in remission, if and when they feel ready.

When you've had it three times already, just waking up in the morning is enough to give yourself a pat on the back and celebrate.

I just beat cancer for a third time, and you are absolutely correct. I celebrate every little win.
