Journal entry by Ashley Minnich

Hello All,

Well it's definitely a day to praise God! Mom had her 2nd to last chemo session yesterday. They are still doing chemo to attack any cancer cells that could not be seen during surgery in Dec.

Her last chemo session is scheduled for Friday March 4th!

We have wonderful news to share!!!! The blood work they did this Thursday before her chemo on Friday indicated that although she is still anemic, her CA 125 cells (the cancer cell count) are at an all time low! When we started this journey her count was over 700. Now, her count is 10!!! Normal!!! Praise & Thanksgiving to God!

Thank you all so much for all you have done to support her, my dad and the rest of us. Thank you for the power of your prayers. We cannot thank you enough but we have all of you in the gratitude of our prayers. 

We seek just a little more help here at the end with meals. You have been so generous already and we truly are appreciative. The first 2 days past chemo mom does ok. But by the time it fully kicks in day 3 she is just wiped out. For this coming week since she just had chemo and for the week after chemo in March I have opened up days in those 2 weeks. I opened nearly every day to try to allow for flexibility of days that work for you all our generous community. My sisters and I will fill in where others cannot. 

Thank you, thank you for seeing her through this last push! We our so loved by "our village" and deeply love you all.

With deep Gratitude,
Ashley, Dad, Brooke & Chelsea
