Robin had an MRI of the pelvic area this Saturday, 12/26 and today, 12/28 we met with Dr. Lee – Radiologist Oncologist for a consultation. Dr. Lee informed us that the MRI showed no sign of a tumor – Great News!!!!



Dr. Lee did recommend that Robin undergo external radiation of the pelvic area because of the tumor invasion of the cervix and vagina. She informed us that Dr. Liserowitz and she agree, that if the cancer reoccur’s it would first manifest itself in the vagina, and if so, it would be extremely difficult to treat. Radiation will be a pre-emptive approach to eliminating the cancer from returning to the vagina. The radiation treatments would only protect the pelvic area and not the abdominal area where the cancer could reoccur. However, if the cancer would reoccur in the abdomen, there is far better opportunity to treat the cancer with chemotherapy and gain a positive outcome i.e. extending her life.



Robin has decided to go forward with the radiation. The treatments will be for six weeks, once daily, Monday thru Friday and will probably commence in mid January and continue through the end of February.



All of Robin’s doctors are very pleased with Robin’s response to surgery and chemotherapy and we are confident that going forward with the radiation will continue to produce positive results.



Once again, thank you everyone for you encouragement and your prayers. We are so blessed with so many friends!
