Yes, cup half-full stuff but you have to think positively (most of the time) otherwise you'd go crazy. Leo has completed ten days of radiotherapy and has now only twenty sessions left. And you know what? He is doing great. He actually cheers when we approach the hospital and loves the staff in the playroom now, who are finally seeing the nice, loving, out-going, cheery boy that Leo can be once he gets used to people. He's done some lovely artwork whilst at the hospital this week and really enjoyed himself, which was fabulous for PJ and I to see.
Chemo weekend is upon us again...or upon Leo, should I say. This is the sixth cycle within a nine cycle protocol and we've impressed upon the docs how much he needs as much anti-sickness drugs as possible for the duration of the weekend. Unfortunately these drugs were not prescribed to the max last time around and so Leo suffered quite a bit, but having said that, he's likely to be very sick anyway because of the actual drugs; but it's nice to know as parents, that we're doing as much as we can to help Leo feel as okay as possible throughout the weekend.
