I want to share

    I just received word from Robyns oncologist, that she has been chosen to try a new treatment that is still in early stages of development. They are currently using the treatment on patients who are terminal this drug has the potential to shrink large masses. Robyn was chosen because of her age, current life situation and struggles, and as she stated "her sparkling personality " lol

    We have been advised NOT to get our hopes up, but as Robyn stated, even if this doesn't work, it may help someone else in the future.

    She will receive 6 treatments 6 hours long with few side effects.

    Robyns right side mastectomy and lymph node removal caused the cancer to spread further so it's been a devastating blow to our family.

    Robyn wanted me to share, because you all have been such a beautiful support.

    Thank you

    Andrea and Robyn

    A treatment that is in the early stages - intriguing! This is an opportunity that I hope will bring positive results.

    Best of luck - I hope the side effects are only minor. ((hugs)) x

    The thing is Andrea - without such brave people like Robyn that are willing to try new treatments, far less would be known about treating this at all. I don't doubt her brilliant personality, despite everything, and of course, we're all crossing everything that this helps your precious Robyn as much as it may help others in the future. Wishing you both lots of strength and good news xx

    Update....

    They can't do the treatment.

    Robyns body is retaining fluid in her right arm, the cancer has spread to her lungs and I'm stuck here in new York dealing with a move and the electrical fire loss. I will be going to ks as soon as I can, but the new treatment has been cancelled.

    I'm just asking all of you to reach into your loving souls and whisper good vibes her way please, love you all.

    Thank you
