So sorry, it's taken a few days for the update, please forgive as I was out of town :)


I talked to Nanny (Robin) a day after chemo and she sounded FABULOUS!!!! She said everything went smoothly and she was wrapped in love the whole time with Sue's blanket on her lap and her prayer shawl on her shoulders. She said they were 9 0r 11 (can't remember the exact number) others there as well and they all chatted the whole time, swapping stories and tips. She was completely comfortable and at the time I talked with her she was experiencing no side effects. Here's an update Dan sent me:


Chemo Babe!

Robin went for her first Chemo treatment this past Thursday with Dan going along for the ride.

Her experience was pleasant and remarkably uneventful. The Chemo treatment center is a spacious comfortable setting with many windows letting in the outside light. The three staff nurses are cheerful and upbeat, constantly interacting with the patients. There is coffee, tea and other drinks with plenty of snacks. Dan discovered the Oreos and he was a happy camper.





We arrived at the Chemo Center at 1:30 in the afternoon. Robin reclined in a comfortable lounge chair and the nurse wrapped her right arm in a heating pad in preparation for the infusion IV. The Chemo drugs are administered with anti-nausea drugs, which all but eliminate any kind of adverse reaction during the treatment. Robin and Dan were both surprised at how quickly the time passed. At 4:00 PM, the treatment was complete and we were free to leave.



We picked up Robin’s Mom on our way home. She will be staying with us for several days, making sure Robin is not alone, in the event she has some reaction to the Chemo Therapy.



Overall, Robin’s first Chemo treatment appears to have been a positive experience, she will now have three-weeks to prepare for her next treatment scheduled for September 20.



Please continue to pray for Robin. She is undergoing two cancer treatments simultaneously, and the doctors have said that this might be “tricky.”



We continue to be thankful for all our friends, how you have rallied around us, and for all of your prayers!



Praise the Lord...we know we are in the “palm” of His hand!
