Journal entry by Jenny Steffes (Haskin)

Thank you, all today, and always, for the love, prayers and support you give. 

GREAT NEWS!! (With a little nudge from yours truly), I am graduating to 6 month scans (for the next 5 years)! Yes!!!! Less contrast filling my brain every year but still staying on top of things is a win-win! 

My scan is stable. NO change; except for a tiny sign that the "black hole/ void" is curling in on itself a bit, which is normal. 

I also saw this new Neuro-Oncologist for the 2nd time only today and she's passionate about getting me feeling my best. A large blood work up and we've got some vitamin deficiencies to address which should help a lot. A prescription Iron and a few others she recommended and then we recheck in 2 months. If that doesn't work, it's iron infusions and I'm so ready to do that if need be. 

And, as I always do on these long days, I got home about 3:15pm and CRASHED! 

(I did sneak in showing my client a house today between appts, of course). 

In April, it will be 3 years since we found this crazy beast. In May, when we go gray, it will be 2 years since we called it "good" and stopped chemo (due to the pandemic hitting). 

Cheers to LIVING, FEELING WELL, FIGHTING, MOVING MY BODY, and still being CANCER-FREE!!!!!!!
