Hello Internet Family & Friends! Kimberly (sister) here, standing in as substitute blogger for the time being.

As you are all anxiously waiting for an update, I’m happy to report that the surgery went very well and Andrew is starting his recovery journey.

I’ve been really edgy the last two days. Somehow I got really good at pissing off 4 people and Speedy bit me within a few hours of each other.

It’s been exactly a month since I had my last chemo treatment. I have to say that I’ve been feeling better the last few weeks than the last 5 months. My hair even started growing back last week!

The last two weeks have gone by way faster than any point of time during my chemo treatment. I didn’t move back to my house but I did manage to get my car back and have been driving all over the place enjoying my temporary freedom before surgery.

Three months ago I was in really rough shape. When I had my appointment at the Mayo Clinic for the first time, I was running a fever, needed a wheelchair, was coughing like crazy, and had a hard time breathing.

After 4 rounds of intense chemo therapy I look to be in pretty good shape besides being bald.
