Ahhh.
Done.
I have officially completed the treatment protocol.
I got my gold star today…my counts are steady and climbing, my energy is slowly returning, and I feel good. I’ve been sent back to my regular oncologist for normal remission monitoring. I’m not a transplant patient anymore; now I am a survivor.

Yay! Let me know if there is a good day to swing by and say hi for an after-work pause before heading home. I occasionally wave at your house when I come home route 50, which is no substitute for hanging with the Beckmans.

“The finest kind” of news, as my Dad woulda said! And I’d say you’re going to blow right through being a survivor into a full-fledged “thriver!” You’re well on your way, so enjoy all summer still has to offer while you continue to feel stronger every day. Love you bunches.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!! That is wonderful, wonderful news. As you probably know from my blog, I’m big on quotes, and I thought this was a great one to celebrate this occasion:

Jen, I am very proud of you. I have watched every update. You faced every step with such grace, and from where I sit, without fear. I know it can be scary, but you seemed to take it all in stride.
Wishing you continued health and a fun summer with your family!
