The Numbers Game
After my last chemo, my numbers had not responded at all. They had climbed to 363, then 364, then a startling 499 – very close to where I had begun three years ago. But the weird part was how wonderful I’ve been feeling by comparison. My tumor has basically dissolved, and I feel better than I have in a year. I had chemo today, and when I got there, the chemo nurses were giggling and about jumping out of their skins.
Lisa had a big piece of paper towel rolled up in her hands.
She and Maria stood in front of me.
“What?” I asked, a little weary, a little bedraggled at the end of the long week.
Lisa unrolled the towel poster.
139
I gasped and tears came to my eyes. I jumped up and we three hugged and danced, danced and hugged.
Then I sat down and had my chemo. Ahhh.

Oh Robin!!!!!!!!! That is the BEST news! I am so happy for you!
God is good!
I have tears in my eyes as well. You go girl!
Tears here too! I am SO happy for you !!!
Your numbers went down that much from your last treatment? then let’s hope yesterday’s treatment brought them to a negative 139 next time! Blessings!
Woohoo, Robin! Praise God! I am so happy to hear your GREAT NEWS!
This is just the best…. You’re the BEST!
Oh Robin….. so what do you think? Is it going to be Paula or Danny on HK?
@cheshirecat1 - I’m thinkin’ Paula, since she’s flying under the radar – but Danny is my favorite that’s left.
@RobinFlamingo - I like Danny, too, but was disappointed that he didn’t perform well this past episode. Paula has been very consistent, but I really think Danny would be a better executive chef. Paula could definitely win the contest.
