Went to see a lovely nursery for Leo today and he enjoyed it so much, he didn't want to leave! Typical! We hope to sort him out a place there soon and the nurse we spoke with yesterday, and his consultant has always maintained, that the consensus has changed over the years about children with cancer and school / nursery. The risk of infection is high, but the upside is the stimulation, social and emotional development and the time spent with peers. Children ten years ago would have been wrapped up in cotton wool, and actually that's also still an option..not a realistic one, but an option all the same. However cotton wool is no barrier to infection or cancer!
More chemotherapy tomorrow; his 8th cycle of 9. Has time flown or what? Or has it dragged so much I cannot believe we're here already? Funny because one minute I'm remembering picking the boys up the day before my surgery, and that feels like yesterday, and then Leo has cancer and that feels like ten years ago. Have we really only been back in the UK since the end of April?
Plus we'll find out more info about the whole maintenance chemo side of things tomorrow. You'll know this has been playing on our minds for weeks and months, and so we hope that we'll be able to find out all the details, or at least most of them, so as we can start to make an educated decision about Leo's future.
Tomorrow's a new day...and looking forward to it. After tomorrow and this weekend, Leo's treatment has just one cycle left. Boy, has he done well and as a friend of mine has said, he has smiled through most of it. If it were you or I, would we have been as composed as him?
