My late wife's journey with SinoNasal Undifferentiated Carcinoma (SNUC), and my subsequent journey as a grieving widower finding my way back to life.

Spotted Robin

We saw the local oncologist today to have Robin's spots checked. We had called the city doctors the other day and they thought she might have "shingles". I guess it's a common affliction for someone with a suppressed immune system (e.g. chemo patients and HIV patients). So Robin was "quarantined" (no hanging out with children or with chemo patients) until the local doctors could have a look at her. When we got to the oncologist's office she was put right into an exam room so she wouldn't fraternize with the other patients in the waiting area.

She doesn't seem to have the classical symptoms of shingles, and the spots seem to be getting better, so the plan is to wait and just keep an eye on the spots in case they start to look worse.

Robin had to skip her morning nap to see the doc, so now she's going to nap right through the lunch hour!

Robin & Greg,

Hope you both enjoy this Thanksgiving day. You're inspirational love and support of each other, and great fighting spirit are truly things to be thankful for - spots and all!

Robin - if the solid food gets a little tough to eat, there's always those Jones sodas. I understand the internet site to order on-line was sold out a few days ago. Who would think Turkey and Gravy soda would be a hit!

Love,

Teri
