Chemo Day One

                                    Well sorry I didn't  get to write the last few days the computer at the hospital wouldn't connect online so I never got to post. Anyway it wasn't that bad taking chemo through a port I couldn't tast it and while they were giving it to me I got to play games with 2 childlife  people. They made me stay the night so they could check my livers and make sure the chemo went to the area it was supposed to. It wasn't that bad until at after I fell asleep because they had to wake me up every two hours to go to the bathroom. After I was awake for a few hours me and dad went to the playroom. Before that he had to pick up my sister from school so I stayed in the room with a nurse and played a tic tac toe game. When my dad and my sister came back we went into the playroom and me and Jessie played a air hockey. After awhile we signed papers for my tummy medicine and we left. I think its dumb that you have to have an escort to take you to where my dad picked me up. We went home took the dogs  for a walk and ate pizza I could tell Roscoe and Cookie missed me they started licking my feet and my hands. I loved that I was finally home I get to lay in my own bed tonight ( well I`ll probably lay with dad ) I AM GLAD TO BE HOME WITH MY SISTER ,MY DAD AND MY DOGS!

Chemo News

                      Well tomorrow I start chemo and I am a little nervous after I have chemo I have to stay in the hospital all day and all night from 8:00am tomorrow from sometime Thursday I will be stuck in a hospital bed. Something about the chemo messes with the liver so every time I take chemo that day and the next morning I will be in the hospital. But on the bright side I will get to play on an ipad all day I will probably be sleeping most of the time. Even when I am in the hospital I will try to type how I am feeling and what is going on.

The Beggining

                      Well I guess I should probably tell you guys my whole story here it goes!
  When I was four I was diagnosed with PPB  plural pulmonary blastoma about almost a year later I went into remission. But less than a month short of a year on my check up scan it was back. With chemo and radiation again I went in to remission. I am now almost cancer free with PPB ....
 Now I have embrynal  rhabdomyosarcoma bytroit type we had found out about it on August ninth.
By the time we found out it was stage 3 and I was only the 2nd case in the world that they are aware of. Today we found out that I will need to take chemo this time and radiation I will start chemo this Wednesday. I am not scared I am ready to get this done and over with. We also found out that chemo this time will be intense and will last a year. I am ready to get this thing done and over with so I can finish fifth grade!
