I have traded emails with Robin and she has written the following:
"A little bit about my recent diagnosis; about 10 weeks ago I found out that I have Stage II invasive breast cancer, which has spread to my lymph nodes. I have 16 weeks in total of chemotherapy, treatments are every other week. After the chemo is finished in the fall I will have surgery, then most likely radiation, and a year of hormone infusion therapy every three weeks.
Up until last semester my husband, Josh, and I were full time students studying at UMASS and GCC. Josh will continue to attend full time for one more year before obtaining his bachelor's degree and I will reduce my studies to part time. Josh also works part time for my stepfather's cleaning business and I am a stay at home Mom to Cole and Hanna. Hanna has been going to daycare 2 days a week during the summer, but she will increase to full time in the fall so I can go to my treatments and school."
She is reluctant to receive help as she prefers to be the one helping. I have been clear, once she gets better we are going to put her to work for the next family.
So, what can we do for the Whitcomb family?
Love this! We can ALL share this on our social networks! That would be a start. This gal would never ask for help, but i'll be glad to!
