super_robyn 's upcoming trip to New York City. For those of you who don't know her,
super_robyn just turned 23, and has been battling
osteosarcoma since she was diagnosed in 2007. She has been receiving chemotherapy for four years, as well as experimental cancer trials, and has had limb-salvage surgery on her left shoulder. The cancer spread to both lungs. After multiple surgeries over the years to remove the cancerous spots, her doctors decided the best option was to remove her right lung entirely, which was done in December of this 2010.
Five months later, doctors discovered that the cancer has now spread to her remaining lung. Her oncologist informed her that they are nearing the end of treatment options, and that the goal now is to keep her as pain-free for as long as possible.
One of the things that Robyn has always wanted to do is to go to New York City, and she and her sister are planning a trip at the end of July.
