Final radiation treatment!

Robin completed here final radiation treatment today - just in time! She has been increasingly tired, increasingly nauseous, she's only kept down two cans of food today, and the pain finally got to be too much for just Tylenol. Today she tried taking the liquid "Oxycodone" which cut the pain intensity in half, but it's made her very groggy. She looks like a drunk rag doll in bed. We'll see if she has any interest in trying the pain med again tomorrow. (I hope so because I'm not sure how many other pain medications options there are!)

Her brother Michael arrived from England today and has joined us in New York City. If all goes well we'll be headed home Tuesday. If Robin's too tired then we'll wait another day. Speaking of being tired - I expected Michael would have fallen asleep by now (7:30pm) but he says he's staying up for Monday night football!

In regard to Robin, I'm really amazed at how the doctors timed all the treatments. She has really reached her limit for what she could stand. Over the weekend we even joked about staying home and skipping the last treatment! Luckily she gets a month off now!
