Journal entry by Steve Olson

To all the friends, supporters, sisters, family and coworkers of our Kristin we want to say thank you!  Tonight marks the last day of her 5 1/2 month long journey of oral chemotherapy and she is sooo ready to start the healing.  During the 8 three week chemo courses she was increasingly challenged with fatigue and difficult side affects and symptoms, but she never let it overcome her.  She was so aware and thankful for the care, concern and love of her immediate family as well as the supportive voices and ready hugs of friends.  She knew that she was never walking through this alone and she's so grateful to you all.  She wants to also call out the support from the wonderful team she is a part of at M Health/Fairview for their understanding and care when she needed it so dearly.  

So now as I said earlier, the chemotherapy is done and the healing can finally really begin.  Please keep sending her your love and support as she works through this next phase.  She'll be going through CT scans every 3 months for the next 3 years to ensure the cancer stays gone and hearing your voices and sharing good times will keep where she needs to be for that healing.  

Again, Team Olson is so thankful for her progress through this journey and for you all.
