[quote=Anonymous]OP, I and several others have given you suggestions about how to celebrate with your husband. People have also given feedback with a different perspective on the expectation of an annual party, and that feedback is part of what can help you shape your approach to your husband and his feelings. (You haven't actually described what his feelings are about not getting a party; you've only described your own feelings.).  People seem to be saying that your husband should not keep expecting a party, that one sign of his recovery is that it's not a novelty anymore to others and he has rejoined the ranks of the non-cancer-people, that it would be wise not to take it personally that people aren't throwing him the party, etc.  If you read back through the posts there are lots of comments that are things you could talk about with your husband.

So you've gotten ideas for alternate ways to celebrate and you've gotten feedback that can form and shape your approach to your husband. Not sure what else you're looking for?[/quote]
