Week one

Robbie has finished his first round of chemo treatment, Daunorubicin pronounced as (daw'' noe roo' bi sin), which he received 3 days in a row. Daunorubicin is a dark red/orange color and can cause sweat to look orange also.

“Daunorubicin is also used with other chemotherapy drugs to treat a certain type of acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL; a type of cancer of the white blood cells). Daunorubicin is in a class of medications called anthracyclines. It works by slowing or stopping the growth of cancer cells in your body.

Robbie is feeling ok and is trying his best to remain in good spirits. he enjoys the view from his room. He chose to shave his head but was not ready to let his beard go just yet.

He will have a break from chemo for 4 days and will move on to the next course of chemo 1 day a week.

We have been so touched by all the well wishes and donations. The out pouring of love for Robbie has been so motivating for him.
