Eight more chemos...and counting!


Hello friends and family!

We apologize for not blogging in a while, but as they say, no news is good news! Mom continues to thrive and exceed everyone's expectations as she recovers. She is back doing chemo every other week (on Mondays now, instead of Thursdays). The doctors were going to try to have her go every week for three weeks and then have one week off, and so on. However, Mom's white blood cell count still drops pretty low after each treatment, so they decided to switch it to just every other week.

The chemo still causes a lot of fatigue and muscle aches, but we have so much to be thankful for. Every check up has gone well, and she has great range of motion of the side of the surgery. Although, we still might have another surgery to go, she is so healthy and strong (both physically and spiritually) that we know she can conquer anything. What a joy it is to be able to let everyone know that their prayers were answered and that the cancer is gone! The journey was not easy, but so rewarding! She has had such endurance throughout this race to the finish line, and she shows no signs of slowing as we approach the end of chemo! We can't help but be inspired, humbled, and so grateful when we are with her.

Thank you again for your support! It has meant the world to ALL of us as we went through it all.

We love you!
