Appologies

First I must start by apologizing for all of the late posts. I guess there were issues with posting from the hospital. Mommy was wondering why people were saying there was nothing on the blog. 

Anyway, tomorrow is the first if two big days for me. Me and mommy head back down to CHOP tomorrow for the first of two days of tests. Tomorrow we will know nothing. They will just be injecting me with radiation. Wednesday is the big day when they will do the scan to see if all of that nasty chemo worked. Pray that the results are good.

Back in the hospital from 6/22

I'm back in the hospital again. I ended up back here before 6 AM again. I have a fever and vomitting. But I think I'm still puking from the chemo. Not sure what is causing the fever though. It's gonna be a while.

Fourth round of chemo never posted from 6/18

I am at the drs waiting to start my fourth round of chemo. Mommy is very superstitious and does not want to jinx anything, so I am not going to say that it will be my last. If all goes well I will finish chemo on Friday, have a week off, go down to chop to be reevaluated, meet with the oncologist down there the next week, then maybe have my surgery the week after. Then I can slowly start to become acclimated to normal life again.

In the hospital for another holiday post never published from 6/14

In my true fashion I needed to be in the hospital for another holiday. Well maybe not quite. I was admitted to the hospital early yesterday morning, but I might be coming home tonight. So daddy might get lucky and have me home for Father's Day. I did miss the walk for The Valerie Fund. They are the cancer center that I go to. So maybe that counts as a holiday, since it only happens once a year. We took some pictures in my hospital room. I'm not very happy to be here. I wish I was at the walk.

Chemo graduation

God willing, today will be my last day of chemo. Mommy says I'm graduating and she couldn't be more proud. This marks the beginning of the end to what will hopefully be a successful fight with cancer. I still have more tests and surgeries to go, but this is the light at the end of a very dark tunnel.

Update

Ok so maybe I'm getting the hang if this chemo thing. I don't want to speak too soon or jinx anything, but I am now 9 days out from the start of my last chemo and still sleeping in my own crib. My counts typically drop 7-10 days after and I start to get sick or run a fever, sending me to the hospital.

I am scheduled to receive my last round on June 16th. I will be going back to chop in the beginning of July for a reevaluation and to meet with my oncologist down there a week later. Hopefully they will have good news and all of this suffering wasn't a waste. Best case scenario, they will then be able to remove the rest of the tumor with surgery.
