Journal entry by Michelle Fragola Hoffman —
Hello all,
I am so very excited to let everyone know that I am officially cancer free! Not only that, but I have had what my doctor called a textbook recovery. It was definitely a long and arduous recovery, but it was made so much easier by all of your support, kind words, prayers, meals, books, videos, and everything else people did to help me through it. Of course, I couldn't have done any of this without Steven by my side. The poor man did everything from wake up in the middle of the night to give me my meds, to snaking my drains, to learning a whole new 'cancer' language, and he did it all while keeping a positive attitude and a good sense of humor.
As of this week, our life is back to 'normal'. I have returned to work on a partial schedule, and Steven is taking a much needed break from caretaking by going skiing in Utah for the week. I don't think 7 days of skiing comes close to equalling what he did for me, but it's the best I could come up with.
Thank you again for everything. There aren't really words to describe how much we both were buoyed by everyone's support. We appreciate each and every one of you and are so blessed to have you in our lives.
I wish everyone a peaceful and healthy 2022.
Michelle
