From Steve Brand Facebook post 08/12/2022:
We’re praying for halfway done! On Thursday, Aug. 18, Summer will receive her 4th out of 6 chemo treatments. If all goes well, her last treatment will be on Sep. 15 & she’ll get a PET scan around Oct. 1. The results of the PET scan will guide her next steps. Summer has been incredibly strong & resilient throughout the entire process. Each treatment gets a little tougher. While she still has her hair, she experiences pretty severe headaches & fatigue. This fall Summer is prioritizing her health & not returning to Central. She’ll take a few online courses from Kirkwood & already enrolled for the spring semester at Central. Her puppy, Sunday, has become her best friend & visa versa. They’re pretty much inseparable. Robin, Summer & I can’t thank ALL of you enough for your prayers, gifts, food, $$, & love. Mount Vernon we LOVE you! Guthrie Center, Pella, Jefferson & Harlan - you’re pretty special, too! #ILoveSummer #InHimIRise
