Chemo #5 ~ one more to go!

Hello all you loyal blog followers!  Here's a note from Dan about the latest chemo ~ almost over!!!

Robin had her fifth chemo treatment this past Friday. She met with her Hematologist/Oncologist and he told her the cancer is responding to the treatments. This is good news and we are so thankful. Robin’s final chemo treatment will be Friday, November 13 - Whoopee!!! Robin is scheduled to meet with her gynecologist/oncologist-surgeon four weeks following her last chemo treatment to discuss his recommendation of radiation therapy – we will keep you posted….

Typically the first two days following her treatment, Robin is energetic and feels completely normal; however toward the end of the second day, fatigue sets in and she will spend the next two to three days in bed. The good news is that she does not experience any nausea, just fatigue. So, today, Robin is resting at home. If all goes as past treatments, she will be up and running toward the end of this week.

Robin believes that the Lord has healed her from both cancers. If you have time, read Psalm 116 – Robin has claimed this Psalm as a confirmation of her healing.


We love you all, your kindness, your cards and letters of encouragement, your fantastic meals (Dan loves them) and most of all your powerful prayers.

So sorry

Robin alerted me yesterday that the blog hadn't been updated in a while. I knew I had updated earlier this month, but when I logged in I found the post in my "drafts" and not published. So sorry for those of you loyal blog followers that have been wondering about Robin. Dan also said he'd get a note together soon. Also, when I spoke with her she sounded GREAT. Dan was out of town for 5 days last week and she was out and about Christmas shopping. She's constantly thinking of others . . . LOVE HER!

A note from Marc

Robin asked me to please convey to all of you how great she feels! She has been feeling great, chemo and all. Marc went with her to this past chemo appointment and here's some pictures he took along with a note from him.




Spending time at chemo with mom is something I look forward to. The hospital is amazing. They've got valet parking & gorgeous waterfalls out in front.
Mom amazes me, she knows all the nurses names & asks them all in passing how they are doing. They all look at her, smile & respond "its great to see you Robin". Sitting in the chemo room, mom makes sure to notice all the other patients & even has 1 other woman who she has seen frequently who she prays with. Mom smiles at everyone & Ive even seen her get up after she was done with her chemo & go pray with a few of the other ladies having treatment. Its amazing to see my mom with such a positive attitude & blessing others while she herself is going through this tough time.

O ya, I even look forward to the lunch she makes. Its usually a turkey sandwich on wheat bread, chips, fruit & a kiss! I love this time with my mom & wouldn't trade doing anything else.

Marc
