The day after my 30th birthday, July 10th, 2015 was my last chemo treatment. When I finished treatment, my oncologist told me there was a zero percent chance that I would ever not have cancer. Today, they can't find anything that looks like cancer. There are still spots present, but they are only millimeters big and have not grown or spread. They believe the spots they are seeing are scarring from burned out tumors. We don't really have a term for it per say, but we're going with "they think I'm in remission". It really is a real live freaking miracle!!!
The past year has been incredibly hard and incredibly beautiful. When I was diagnosed with stage four ovarian cancer, I did not think that by this time I would be climbing mountains or kayaking waters. Yet here I am. I turned 31 yesterday and received an overwhelming outpouring of love and adventure. I am so incredibly and undeservedly blessed. I have failed so many times, but my God has not. I am still healing and mourning in some areas. I am so thankful for the patience, grace, and comfort I have received in my moments of brokenness. There is still much distance to cover, but through it all, it is well with my soul.
