This will be the last entry for Amanda’s CB page. We really appreciate everything it has had to offer. It was a place where I could journal and keep track of what has transpired with her life and health care issues. A place where she can see the challenges that she faced and battles won. A place where we all got inspiration from the guestbook entries on those not so good days and the good days too.

Amanda’s one year off treatment date was September 26th....wow, an entire year off treatment. You think the day will not come soon enough when she will stop the chemo. Now it has been over an entire year. When being told the length of time my daughter would be on chemo, I felt it was not possible. How could she survive all those toxic chemicals for such a long time? And yet, it was those very toxic chemicals that saved her life. That, of course, and God’s will.

We are very proud of all she has accomplished. We plan on keeping her page “up” for others who may be facing challenges as she has. To give hope to those just entering the cancer world that there can be a happy ending.

With all praise, glory, and honor given to our Heavenly Father.
