Chemo Cycle 6

We arrived home from CHEO last Friday following Curtio's sixth cycle of chemo. This was our final cycle of chemo prior to our big trip to Toronto Sick Kids Hospital. Curtis has been tolerating this cycle incredibly well. We had a very rough night the first night of this cycle with vomitting most of the night but Curtis has been doing much better ever since. He's already eating well again and playing actively since arriving home which is better than he has done is all previous cycles. We're really hoping we can buck the trend this time round and not end up back at CHEO with a neutropenic fever like every cycles 1, 2 and 4 when he has received these chemo drugs. Regardless, we're very proud of our little boy for doing so awesome yet again and keeping his chin up through the dreadful side effects of chemo. He rarely lets it bring him down and he continues to touch our hearts every day and keep us going. This visit at CHEO was probably the most challenging to this point with Mackenzie always on the move and we ended up on the smaller side of a room with another patient. We've been lucky in getting the window bed most of our visits which really helps with Mackenzie, but 4 North has been a full house the whole week long. Anyway, now we're thinking about the trip to Toronto and getting things in order around the house for our extended time away. Curtis also has a bunch of tests and scans coming up this week in preparation for the Toronto stay.
