Another week, another update
Is time going faster because I’m older, or did the world speed up when I wasn’t looking? Here it is, another week gone, and I’m not quite sure where it went. So, I had the orange chemo last Friday – and was sick all weekend. I didn’t feel better until Wednesday, actually. I still feel not great, but I have a doctor’s appointment on Tuesday, and he’ll probably affirm that it’s “just the chemo.” There was a time when I would have never said those three words together: just the chemo.
Tonight is FLAMINGOS FIGHTING CANCER, a fundraising event at my school in my honor
. It’s the seniors versus the faculty in a basketball game, with all proceeds going to ovarian cancer research! Everyone is being encouraged to wear pink – it looks like there will be a lot of alums coming back, (it’s spring break for a lot of colleges around here) as well as “kids” (now at least 28!!!) from my old school as well. I have about a dozen family members coming too…it should be lots of fun! I’m excited and nervous all at the same time…and I have a couple of special flamingo hats to wear, as well as brand new Hot Pink Converse! I should have some fun pictures to share, as well as a full report of the event! Yay!

What a special event in your honor. It sounds like so much fun and so YOU!!! How wonderful that you are so loved and blessed.
How fantastic! You will have to post pictures!
That is so wonderful that they are doing that. Doesn’t that just give you the warm fuzzies
It was a little- no, a lot overwhelming to walk into the gym a little after 7:00 (We had trouble finding the school in the dark in the rain ) to the overwhelming number of people, noise and pink. Congratulations, Robin! I can’t think of anyone who deserves it more.
