Chemo #4 (maybe the last course for her!)

Robin was admitted to the hospital yesterday morning and received a four hour IV of Cisplatin. She tends to be so strong about everthing these days - but just the thought of getting chemo makes her feel anxious! She finally settled down in the afternoon after the process had begun.

She slept most of this morning at the hospital until they finally checked her out at noon. We went directly over to the Radiation Therapy suite where she received her daily treatment. Since it is Tuesday she also met with Dr. Harrison (the Radiation Oncologist) who noted that he's very pleased with the rate at which the tumor has been shrinking. It's now the size of a pea! The progress has been so good that Robin might even finish up prior to November 7th!

If she finishes anytime prior to November 6th then there is no possibility for her to get a fifth course of chemo. When she realized she might not have to do another course she had a HUGE grin on her face!

We got back to our apartment around 2:30pm and she's been asleep ever since. Guess her body is taking time to recover from all the treatments in the last 36 hours! We're very excited - she's only experienced a slight bit of nausea so far!
