I am thrilled to share that the last year has been amazingly filled with great medical news and lots of family time. I completed reconstruction, have had great follow-up appointments with my medical team and re-grew some wild and crazy curls. I also re-entered the workforce as a part-time meeting planner at IUPUI, have been cheering the kids on at their various activities, and spending time with Kev, the kids, family and friends. I am still volunteering on the Kids Discovery Factory board (If you haven't checked KDF out yet, we're doing great things!)

The kids attended their second Camp Kesem, which has been incredible for them. Kesem supports kids whose parents have experienced any kind of cancer diagnosis. They attended camp through the IU chapter, but it's a nationwide organization, so please share!

I was blessed to attend a Casting for Recovery retreat in August. CfR supports women who've experienced breast cancer by teaching them to fly fish. It was a truly amazing weekend. Please share with any women who would benefit from time away to connect with other women and learn a cool new skill!

Many people have reached out to me to ask questions or advice for themselves or loved ones who are beginning a journey with breast cancer. While I will never have all of the answers, I am happy to share my experiences if it's helpful. Thank you for supporting me and my family through this journey!

Love, Amber
