Hello to all! I just wanted to give all a quick update on Robert's treatments this week. He started radiation Wednesday, and we got the results back from the PET scan. Unfortunately there are 2 nodes that showed up on the scan that were cancerous. They are in the sternum area. One looked to be pretty big. The radiation dr. told us they were in an area the would not be operable, due to their location being close to the heart. We are going to get copies of the scan and send it to Roberts surgeon anyway and get his opinion. The scan showed that all Roberts organs were clear, so that is really good news and we are going to focus on that right now. We were both really blown away when we saw the scan. The winds were really knocked out of our sail, but Robert has great faith that the chemo and radiation will take care of this. So I guess thats as good as it gets right now. I admit I am scared as hell right now and angry, but Robert has such strength I look at him and think if he can have that attitude then who am I to doubt his determination.
Robert started his chemo today. The chemo nurse said Robert will lose his hair this time. My friend Lisa Garvin and I have been telling him that since his head is all swollen from the fluid that he will look like ET when his hair is gone. They said the nausea side effects should show up in about 2 to 3 days. We were hoping we could get out and do something fun Saturday, but I guess we will just have to wait til Talledega Sunday.
Please keep Robert in your prayers, he really needs them now.
