Newest Update

Journal entry by Erin Strasen

Hello out there! It’s been awhile! But today I have an exciting update. Tomorrow, on January 25th, Galen has her last round of radiation!!!!!
 
YAHOO!!!!!!!!!!!
 
1 surgery. 16 rounds of chemo. 25 rounds of radiation. Countless calls with her doctors. It’s been an insane 315 days (give or take) since Galen received her diagnosis.
 
Let’s take a moment to give her another round of support as she nears the treatment finish line. It’s weird to talk about this as a finish line, because in certain ways it feels like the beginning. Leading up to her surgery, Galen said something that stuck with me (that I’m sure I captured here) about how this was the first step to reclaiming her cancer-free body. Although I like to think she reclaimed it just by saying those words… she will still, undoubtedly, be needing that extra reassurance that we’re all still rooting for her. 
 
Join me in sending all the love to Galen (and Devon!!) so she can think positive thoughts when she goes in for treatment tomorrow!
