It has been 17 days since Robin's first cycle of chemotherapy . We wanted to give everyone an update on what has been happening since it's been a while.
She had only a little nausea three to four days after her first cycle. After that, she bounced back pretty well. She does have some fatigue, which comes along with the chemo but nothing really bad so far.
This past week her hair started thinning so she decided to go ahead and get it buzzed off. She hated having to pull out handfuls all day. Cader has been helping her get it all out with a sticky tape lint roller. The hair was a tough emotional issue for her but she is getting through it well. Robin is also starting to have some ulcers in her mouth that is making it difficult to enjoy her favorite foods. Otherwise, she is staying strong and being really tough, mentally and physically.
I continued to be amazed by her strength and perseverance through all of this. She is truly a wonderful girl. She is also still receiving lots of love and support from friends and family, especially our three boys lately. Robin unknowingly is teaching the boys how to stay strong and focused and not give up.
This coming Tuesday is cycle number two of chemotherapy...
