Journal entry by Krystle Smith —
It’s been one year since Cassie was diagnosed with Stage 4, Metastatic Breast Cancer that had metastasized to the bone. And after a long year of ups and downs, little Jacky Kautzer would like to share that his KiKi has NO ACTIVE CANCER in her body.
Cassie had new scans last Friday and found out today there is no new or active cancer anywhere in her body. 🙌🏼 She and family are so thankful for answered prayers!
Cassie will have to continue treatment indefinitely, as this treatment plan is obviously working: chemo every three weeks and bone infusion to protect healthy bone cells every month. This was expected. But tolerating the side effects of treatment is so much easier knowing it is working!
Cassie’s next goal is to pray for continued positive results moving forward, and the opportunity to get back to another summer in Door County, WI near her nephews, family, friends, and the peacefulness of nature and the water (with her ever faithful Kelby of course). This will depend on being able to coordinate treatment, but we are all hopeful this opportunity may allow further return to normalcy for Cassie.
Thank you all for your continued love, support, happy vibes, and prayers! They are felt and appreciated.
