Julie has now come towards the end of the every three week course of chemotherapy. According to her journal entry on Caringbridge.com, she is in remission. The next steps are to finish the last part of this last round next week and then go on monthly maintenance with a drug called Taxol. Taxol can be pretty tough to handle but she's handled all the other meds well so she's going to take it one round at a time - a 12 round heavyweight bout. Hopefully at the end she'll still be standing and she can take the next steps to a healthy survivorship.
All prayers, support and otherwise good wishes are still needed and appreciated, but the news so far is as good as we could have hoped for. We're all hopeful.
