Newest Update

Journal entry by Jean Steffeck

Hi! Post-op update. I had no issues with the procedure and took a couple days after to rest and sleep off the anesthesia. Each time I have a different post op reaction, which is showing me how it’s a fine art and no one does it the same. 

I feel good now and I head back in Thursday for a one week check-up and drain removal.  

Aside from this, I don’t think I shared that when I had my last infusion, I had a double dose of pembro/Keytruda. That’s causing heavier side effects than usual so I’m hoping I can detox from everything and feel “normal-ish” soon. 

We’re set to leave Oregon July 29th for the next big adventure!
