challenges in ohio

( Warning! I can't spell, I can't type, and I never reread what I have tried to express--so this will be riddled with errors!) here we are at the cancer center. Em and June have come down from Chicago to go to my first radiation treatment and of course sweet Jess is there too!
this is a wonderful story full of blessings and good people. Had the regular mammogram on june 1, and got the call for a SECOND BECAUSE BAD THINGS HAD BEEN FOUND ON OOPS. bad things had been found, so I returned june 8. God Bless Dr. Havey--had some of his children in school and they were precious too, Dr. havey found the very small, easy to miss-- spot, and spent a good deal of time looking at my old pictures to confirm. First operation to remove it was June 15. the results were back in june 18. God Bless and lots of hugs and kisses to Dr. Moore--my GP,
who showed up at our front door with the report in his hand--so very kind. He stayed with us over an hour explaining what was ahead. Second operation to take just a little more was july 8 .
and now we have come to the picture!!!! today I had my first radiation treatment. It was a piece of cake--beautiful facility, lots of kind people. no problems.
Only one sad note, Stevie had to leave Saturday. Spring is coming in Australia and we have pollination contracts that must be met. Now that was hard. My tears, when they flow, are more about our geographic separation than my breast cancer--so schedule your mammogram today please.

  1. Robyn..you have such a positive attitude and will beat this little kink in the road. Myself and girlfriends are making our annual mecca to San Antonio to the Women's Boutique for our mammograms this Friday.

    Godspeed my friend...my thoughts and prayers are with you on this journey.
