Newest Update

Journal entry by Brad Franzen

Hey everyone, now that we have gotten information back from my
oncologist I thought I’d provide an update.
I just finished my 11th treatment of 12 overall. It kicked my butt once again. Since I don’t feel like eating or drinking for the 2 days I’m hooked up, I’ve been having pretty bad abdominal cramps related to gas that’s in my body. Hopefully tomorrow I start my way up towards feeling better.
The 12th treatment that I’ll have on June 29th will be my last treatment. My oncologist saw my pathology report and I wouldn’t be undergoing maintenance chemo. I will get some scans and will continue to be monitored to check for any cancer that may come back, but for now I can’t explain the relief knowing that, for the time being, I only have one more treatment until getting a great break from everything.
I start back at work (working from home) this coming Monday, so I’m excited to be getting back to normal.

Thanks everyone!
