Anne was able to ring the bell on Friday afternoon to signify the end of her cancer treatment. She will be back for periodic check ups this year and some prophylactic antibiotic treatments, but her treatment is over.
Anne will have surgery to remove the port that she received chemotherapy through the first week of April. That is the last big hurdle. We expect that surgery to go well.
Anne’s family was able to join us for the bell ringing ceremony at the treatment center on Friday to help us celebrate. Anne doesn’t love big crowds and loud noises, but she wanted to really signify the end.
There haven’t been many recent blog updates because there haven’t been any developments or events. We have been moving back to life as usual. Anne is anxious to get things squared away with her Clemson registration for next year. She is also anxious to have new hair growth. We are still waiting on that.
A copy of the video of Anne ringing the bell is on my Instagram. You can reach out to me via WhatsApp if you would like to see it and you are not on Instagram. This platform does not support the video.
I will post again after Anne’s surgery in a couple of weeks! Thank you all for your prayers, love, and support.
