I am thrilled to share with you all that as of the end of September, I am officially done with chemotherapy. I had my first follow up MRI at the end of the month and everything continues to look great on my scans. I will continue to get MRI scans every 3 months for quite a long time, as my doctors want to keep a close eye on my brain. The further away from chemo I get, the better I feel physically. I am happy and anxious to keep moving forward with life. It has been a bit weird, as treatment had become such a regular part of my routine, but I am of course relieved to be done and moving on. 

The next logical question people ask is when will I go back to work. As of right now, I do not know or have plans. My doctor is encouraging me to take a few months off to continue recovering, as the mental fatigue is quite sneaky and will take time to get over. At the moment, I am just enjoying the extra time I get to spend with Maren, as she is growing up so very quickly.  

Words cannot express how much I appreciate all of your support over this past year plus. Thank you for all of your good thoughts, kindness, prayers, help with meals, dog walks, help with Maren, driving me to and from appointments back when I was unable to, etc. Each and every one of you has helped to make this journey easier for me and my family, and I will be forever grateful.

All the best,
Kirsten
