Beginning the Regimen by Kasia

Our apologies for the delay in posts the last couple weeks.  Robert and I have been keeping busy with appointments and a lot of planning for the weeks to come.  (We have even slipped in a bit of wedding planning!)

Our minds, and time, have mainly been occupied by all the planning for Robert's chemotherapy that starts tomorrow.  We are so lucky to have Mrs. Fran in town with us for the next week.  She is the breath of fresh air that was needed in our home.  Robert has been able to enjoy his favorite comfort foods (our friends and I have been able to benefit from this) and we have been relaxing and watching a lot of football.

Tomorrow reality will kick in.  It may be a bit before we are ready, but in reality, no one is really ready to see their loved one go through a struggle.  Luckily our loved one happens to be Robert who is more than capable of kicking cancer's butt.  I am confident that he will crack jokes through the entire process and be the strong one out of all of us.  Even though Robert is the victim in this situation, he tends to worry about everyone else around him.  He worries how his family is doing, and how I am handling the situation.  If he is scared, or upset, he is putting up a professional front.  He stays strong so that we can all stand strong around him.  His attitude is contagious.

We are very lucky to have such amazing friends and family surrounding us.  Thank you for every prayer and kind word.  Tomorrow is the beginning of a difficult couple months that will end with a stronger, unified, happily ever after.
