As most of you already know my best friend in the world Kate was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma, Stage IA, in September of this year. She started chemotherapy the second week in October and has since completed all four of her scheduled rounds. Next she will have a PET scan this week on Friday and if that is negative for any cancer activity in the lymph nodes she will be officially done with chemo and will move on to 3 weeks of radiation therapy. Through all of this Kate has been so amazing and absolutely the bravest person I know! She has had such a great attitude and rather than complaining has just taken everything in stride and continued to live her daily life! Despite some side effects from chemo like nausea, headache and feeling exhausted she has not missed any class, appointments with her clients and has even managed to get on her bike for some short rides. I'm so incredibly proud of her and I know not many people would be able to go through this with the same amazing strength and attitude!I was lucky enough to have 2 weeks of vacation in the beginning of October and was able to spend 5 days in Colorado with Kate the week she was starting chemotherapy. Despite multiple appointments and chemo that week we had a great time and did lots of fun things. We went hiking and even horseback riding in the beautiful colorado mountains!
Please pray that Kate's PET scan is negative this Friday so she can move on to her next phase of treatment!
