Treatment #8 Postponed

May 27, 2020

Chemotherapy treatment #8 was postponed today and will not resume for two weeks.

The period of remission that lasted from May of 2019 to March of 2020 ended with Angela Bursler experiencing symptoms for the first time since the initial diagnosis in 2014. It was because of this that the protocol for this round was more aggressive. A typical protocol is 3 weeks of treatment and then a week off but the doctor's plan of attack was to treat every week until Angela waved the white flag. The assumption was that she would be able to withstand one round (4 treatments) before she would relent but she worked through pain and weakness to extend it out to 7 treatments before finally saying uncle.

She has an unbelievable will to live. By living I don't mean living for herself but instead for her kids, mother, father, friends, dogs, and yes even me. I can't explain how difficult it is to watch a person you love suffer but I can tell you that it is so inspiring to watch that same individual rise up and overcome challenge after challenge. I love her to death and have so much respect for her.
