Chemo is Done!!!

For those of you who didn’t see Kimberly’s post on social media, this week marked the final chemotherapy treatment.

Traditionally the first 10 days following treatment are really bad, so we’re right in the thick of that now.  

The silver lining is that hopefully this is the last time she’ll ever have to go through these horrible chemo symptoms.

It is definitely a cause for celebration that she passed this milestone in her treatment, but the road ahead in her cancer journey is still very long and painful.

The next milestone is double mastectomy surgery in mid-September.

Following surgery, she’ll get about a 6-8 weeks to let her body recover, and then she’ll start radiation.  This will consist of going into the radiation center daily (yes, EVERY day, M-F) for 6 weeks to radiate her chest to make sure rouge cancer cells are not still present.

Then, the plan is in the Spring to have another surgery (a major 12-hour long one) for breast reconstruction.

The road is long and tiring, but this is a good time to pause and be thankful that the chemo phase is complete!

Thanks to each of you who have been a constant help and support during this process!
