Those who have to battle cancer are dealt a devastating blow. These people are faced with the reality that they may not pull through, and that weighs heavily on their minds, and on the minds of their loved ones. But even in the face of such adversity, there has to be a silver lining. Cancer sufferers dream of the day when they can stop all those harsh treatments and begin their journey to recovery.
So when Ann Trachtenberg found out that her last day of chemotherapy was drawing near, she made an off-hand joke about wanting a marching band to celebrate her victory over the disease.
Her family took that joke to heart and wowed their amazing Ann with something she’ll never forget.

Trachtenberg managed to beat cancer and keep her sense of humor in the process, which is no small feat. If anyone deserves pomp and circumstance, it’s someone who succeeds in conquering what could have been a death sentence. Best wishes to Ann as she continues down the path to recovery!
