Well, after the last post on friday, I started getting tired. I wasnt sick, just no energy, which really gets to me because if you know me, I am a worker, and I like to stay busy doing something all of the time, so sitting around just isnt me in any shape, form or fashion. So anyway, I stayed that way off and on all week. And of course, right in the middle of this, had to thrown in a good old wisdom tooth ache, which just about killed me for about three or four days. Not sure if I can even get it out now, but I have got to do something soon about that one last wisdom tooth. You would think that my mouth would be big enought to support just one little extra tooth, but I guess not. Anyway, my birthday was on monday and I had been struggling with this hair thing about everyeday since the prior wednesday with my hair thinning each and every day. But I was determined that I wasnt going to cut in on my birthday, so I waited. Finally on tuesday night, I told Jay that I was going to do it. He, Tyler and I went in the bathroom and I had a good cry and Tyler prayed for me and they went out. I turned Spirit fm on and as I started shaving a new song came on, This is the first day of the rest of your life, which seemed appropriate. Its not a pretty site, but I havent cried again about it. I guess that it was sort of a relief. Now I am just trying to get to used to wearing a wig. I pray for courage and confidence in this and not to be self conscience about it. As my friend Karen Arnn, who has gone through this too, says, when hair is coming out then it is working and that is true. Having a few little abnormalities that I guess are side effects, like a huge rudoloph size place on the end of my nose, just woke up one morning and my nose was glowing, go figure! But as of today, it is better! Thank you Lord! Well, felt good today. Started back thinking about doing this Resale/Thrift Shop, which I really do want to do. I know that it will help others who cant afford regular retail pricing these days and as you know, I love a good bargain and a good thrift shop.

Thank you all again for my sweet cards, you dont know what they mean to me and to especially hear from people that I havent seen in years means so much to. Just keep praying for me and I go back to UVA this coming Thursday. This will be my third treatment. Count Down!!!!

God is SO GOOD!!

Well, i had a good but long day yesterday. had to go back to uva, but had a great report, the place under my arm has shrunk alot, the doctors were very pleased and me too. God is so good, and he is working so much in my life. I love the saying make a message out of my mess and a testimony out of my test. My heart test was also normal as well which was good.

We didnt get home until about 830 but came hone to a delicious meal from Janet and Ed Nunn, boy she can cook. and also two wonderful little gifts from Lisa Gibson and Maryann. God continues to show me his love through his people, everyday.

Well, i guess it is almost time to do the hair thing. I am dreading that but i am trying to prepare myself everyday. I know that it is just hair and the lord is going to give me double for my trouble for this. IT IS JUST HAIR! Praises to because I have not been sick. which is so great. And I have felt good today. The last time I was soooo tired, but I had been through alot prior to the treatment.

Thank you lord too for this beautiful weather today. And my prayers go out to Peggy and Ryan Martin in the loss of Jackie, my prayers are with you both!

sunday fellowship

I have had a really good day today. Went to church for a wonderful service by Pastor Jonathan speaking on Hope. Also Travis Ducite, not sure on the spelling, was there playing the electric piano. He is the one who wrote God of the Ages sung by Charles Billingsley. He also is a wonderful singer. We were blessed to have him there. Then a good lunch with friends and time at home. Had several friends bring food and groceries over, which was very nice. I have felt really good the past two days, getting my laundry room painted and organized was tiring but felt so good accomplishing something. Out tonight with family to eat. God has been so good to me and keeping me surrounded by his love and Jay, the boys and my family have been so good to me. Just found out that I now have people in California praying for me too. From East to West and North to South. God is amazing and I give him all the praise. You know, for a while I had been asking the Lord to use me in some way that I am willing, and he is!

Also Ultrasounds!!!!

I urge every woman to not just have mammograms, but also have ultrasounds. I have had mammograms for 23 years consistently and all have been negative. Even the one recently didnt show this primary spot. The only way it was found was through the ultrasound. Please, Please, have ultrasounds too!

another beautiful day < 3

Another beautiful day, the sunshine has been great. had to go back to uva today for another follow up test, which showed nothing on right side lymph nodes, praises to the lord. feeling better, just still a little tired, hopefully tomorrow i will be back to normal.

Treatment

Thursday was a long day, first I had to have the port put in, which was a minor surgery, then went back over to redo the marker on one spot, because they were never seeing it on the mammogram. they did redo it, but still couldnot locate it on the mammogram. I think that i have even been in that machine upside down trying to find it. Finally they just had to mark it permanently outside for the doctor for later. My chemo went well, I am tired, not really sick just taking meds for that, hope that stays okay. Trying to eat something, not wanting much though today. Everyone is being so sweet to meet. I am going to try and load a picture of a heart later and i will explain what it was. God was truly with me. love robyn

UVA today!

Wow, it has been a long day. but i know that they had to get these things done. i have had three core biopsys today and three mammograms. i think that i have had my share for a very long time. these doctors and ladies were so nice to me and so pleasant to be around. you could not have asked for a better team. I am very sore, but I will be better tomorrow. Headed over early in the morning and then to start my treatments. please pray for me for comfort and peace. Also had a good report that there is no c anywhere else in my body. PRAISE THE LORD for that one. I had prayed and prayed for health to my bones, blood and organs, and he has answered that prayer. New miracles everyday.
