Journal entry by Jerri Mapel —
Today was my next to last treatment day! It's been awhile since I posted, much has happened. We have had to deal with Covid and quarantine for several weeks now. But, in that time frame, I have finished several treatments and hit my 1 year mark! So, in 3 weeks, I will have my last treatment! From there, I will continue pill therapy for 5 to 10 years. I will continue to see my Oncologist for follow up visits and they will start to spread apart as time goes on. I will need one last Echo done in July to check on my heart, but so far they have been fine. I will also follow up with my General Surgeon and possibly get my port removed later in the summer. Next on my list, is a follow up revision surgery with my plastic surgeon, if all goes well that will happen next week. My hair has been coming back in gray/dark and I can't wait for it to get longer! I'm so thankful the caps are history! Below is a picture of me with my boys on Mother's Day. Aaron was getting ready to leave for Highway Patrol Academy, so he was dressed up to head back. We enjoy his visits on the weekend and look forward to him graduating on June 26th. He will be stationed in Nodaway/Worth area, so is looking for a place to live up in Maryville. We are thankful he will be close to us. Thank you for your support over the last year. It has meant more than you know to me. I am looking forward to some celebrating when this is all over.
