You have probably noticed, that we have not made an update entry since Robin began her radiation therapy. The reason we did not communicate was at the beginning, her sessions were uneventful and of little consequence.



The prescribed treatment was for twenty-eight sessions, five days a week. Each day, Robin would report in with a scan card, go back to the waiting room and wait for her call. Once she was in the radiation room, the process was approximately 10 minutes. It was painless and very efficient. So, for the first few weeks, Robin thought her treatment was a breeze…than – week three hit, and the reality of the cumulative effect of the treatments began to set in.



These last three weeks have been extremely challenging for Robin. Nausea, lower GI issues, loss of appetite and extreme fatigue began to take its toll. Our Robin was so courageous and she endured and completed all of her treatments.



One week ago today, Robin had her last treatment. The radiology staff played a graduation march and presented her with a Diploma. Thankfully the treatment was over.



Robin and Dan met with her Dr. Lee who informed them that Robin will need a good six weeks to recover from the radiation. As of today, Robin is finally getting her appetite back and is spending a brief time sitting in her living room – the first time in over three weeks of being in bed.



We are thankful all of the cancer treatments are over. Today Robin is symptom free and we are trusting that she will remain so.



Thank you all for your prayers, phone calls, cards/letters and your love….we appreciate you so much!
