The Challenges of Chemo

Sometimes I wish I could see the cancer cells just being torn to pieces by this chemo. I can see it making my hair fall out, making my nails ugly and making my nose run non-stop. I can feel it making me sad and tired. It leaves its nasty taste in my mouth. If only I could see it destroying cancer. That’s where faith comes in. I just have to believe that through all of this, chemo is doing what it is supposed to be doing and one day soon I will hear those words my friend recently heard from the oncologist, “You are cancer free.”

As the weather changes and I realize I will be bald for quite some time yet, I have updated the gift registry on headcovers.com If you would like, you may log on by following these simple directions.
Go to www.headcovers.com
Click on Gift Registry
Click on Search
Type in my first and last name and Email
robinmaxson@sbcglobal.net
My name should show under search registry and click on view

I have also updated the calendar for meals.

That's it for now. Enjoy Tulip Time!!

  1. Robin,
    You are exactly right - the power of visualization really works. Keep visualizing, imagining, seeing those cells destroyed one by one. I'm doing the same for you!
    Love you,
    Amy

  2. Thank goodness for Faith! Where would we be without it?! I like that you have given your Faith a little "sight" by picturing the Chemo destroying the cancer cells. I'll keep praying for the Chemo to do just that so one day soon you, too, can hear those wonderful words..."You are cancer free!!" Keep fighting!!!
    Love-ya,
    Corla :)

  6. Robin it was so good to see you at school today. You may look in the mirror and see all the physical changes that chemo has caused. All I saw was one strong, brave, beautiful woman! Hebrews 11:1: "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."

  7. Exodus 15:2 (New International Version)

    2 The LORD is my strength and my song;
    he has become my salvation.
    He is my God, and I will praise him,
    my father's God, and I will exalt him.

    You are full of strength. ;-) Stacy.S
