chemo day 3

chemo day 2

Chemo Day 1

We ended up starting chemo at midnight last night, after hours of pre-hydration.  As nervous as I've been about chemo, I was relieved he was asleep for the first few hours.  When he did wake up around mid-morning, I was again relieved to see he was full of smiles!

I have to say, the majority of the day went by better than expected.  We had a slight "ify" period for a while, but one more dose of nausea medicine and he dozed right off. 

C is for Cancer

Today my baby starts chemo.  My nerves are a mess.  a little over two weeks ago we took my son into the ER for a bladder issue and three days later we found out he has cancer.  No one saw that coming.
There was a time were C stood for cars and candy and my son's name, Clayton, but now it also stands for cancer and chemotherapy and central line and words no one wants in their regular vocabulary.
Today is a big day...
