I'm Finished!...No More Radiation Treatments

[RobiLee]

Woo Hoo!

Hello All...That's right. I am finally finished with treatments. I am so happy and the feeling of relief is tremendous. Last night when I was on here and typing in that I had just one more to go...that feeling of relief really hit me hard and I just started crying. Its like I felt like I could breathe again and relax and I could truly feel how tired my body was and my emotions just took over and I had a good cry. It has been a long haul. From when I first started having symptoms to the end of my treatments I think it has been about 1 1/2 years. The last 3 months have included 2 surgeries and 28 radiation treatments and now I am finally finished. I don't have to go back and see the doctor for a whole month. You have no idea how nice that sounds to me. A whole month without seeing any doctors, nurses, needles or hospital! Gee, I won't know what to do!!!

Now, I have to send out a great big thanks to all of you. THANK YOU , THANK YOU, THANK YOU!! You people have no idea how much you have helped me out. Pet Talk has just been the greatest thing for me. I have spent alot of time here over the past 3 months. It has helped me so much to come here and talk about what is going on with me and to have people actually respond to my threads and wish me well and give me encouragement has truly been amazing. I LOVE Pet Talk!! I definitely could not have done this without the support of my entire family and you people here at Pet Talk.

Now that things will be calming down for me, I am hoping to spend more time responding to other people's threads instead of talking about myself...lol. Of course I will also be telling Katie stories and posting pics of her. It has been so long since I have sent any pics of Katie out. I haven't even taken any lately. I need to get busy...lol.

Ok, that's enough...I'm done now. Once again, Thank you all so much!!

Hugs to all of you....Robin :)

[Ally Cat's Mommy]

I am so happy that the treatment is behind you now! Your positive attitude is an inspiration to us all. (Makes me ashamed to think of the trivial things I complain about - compared to what you have been going through!)


(((HUGS))))

[PayItForward]

Great news Robin :D

Enjoy this month free of medical people/places, you really deserved a break.

Hug your girl and post some photos ;)

What about icecream? I think a celebration isn't complete without iceream (Strawberry cheesecake or Cookie Dough Mmmmm)

Love Jenny

[lovemyshiba]

Yay!!!!!!!!!!
I'm so happy for you!!!!!!
No go out and spoil yourself some more!!!!!
:D :D :D :D :D :D

[gini]

Exactly as Ally has mentioned - you really are an inspiration for us all. I had no idea that you have endured surgeries as well as regular radiation treatments.

It is alright if you talk about yourself - you deserve to do that and all of us have learned something through you.

Spoil yourself rotten - do some of the things that you have been putting off.

Most of all wrap your arms around yourself and give yourself a big hug - because you are amazing.

[Karen]

Yay! Yay! Yay! Yay! Yay! Yay! Yay! Yay! Yay! Yay! Yay! Yay! Yay! Yay! Yay! Yay! Yay! Yay! Yay! Yay! Yay! Yay!

Okay, who is gonna give Robin a big hug from me on Sunday? Any volunteers? :) Katie? Oh, yes, Katie, dear, congratulations to you, too, for being a good distraction all these months. Those times you were a little, um. naughty - that was just to distract Momma, right? ;)

[pitc9]

I think all of us are going to want to hug her when we see her tomorrow!!!

Congrats Robilee.......... can't wait to celebrate tomorrow!!!

[luckies4me]

I have tears in my eyes for you! How wonderful! Gosh I am so ecstastic for you, I can imagine the joy you are feeling now. Go out and celebrate, take a nice long walk with Katie and then come back and shower Pet Talk with your beautiful fur-kid. You truly are an inspiring women. :)

Congratulations on finally being done with the radiation treatments. You looked great yesterday. I hope each day makes you feel better and better as the after effects of the radiation wears off. You have been an inspiration to many of us and we thank you for sharing your story with us.
