Journal entry by Heather Kerndt —
Today I am receiving my 14th and final Kadcyla treatment! I looked back at my old entries and saw that this treatment started on July 24th. Wow I can't believe it has already been 9 months! I am going to end my caring bridge entries at this point. I appreciate you all sticking with me and following my journey over the last year and a half since I was diagnosed with cancer.
I will have a smaller surgery this summer to take out my ovaries, remove my port and finish up some plastic surgery issues and that is all I have planned. This summer I hope to enjoy more time in the sun and with my kids than last summer. I hope to enjoy every minute I feel well and focus on being healthy with my family and friends.
I will follow up with my oncologist every 3 months for a year and then gradually wean to less frequent visits.
I feel like I have made it to the finish line of of this marathon and am ready to move forward knowing that I have done everything I can to fight at this point.
Thank you all for your supporting me and my family!
