Nothing new to report. Nick is still feeling great and with his doses lowered we can see the difference in him. His counts did not drop much this week as they usually do.
WBC: 6.7
RBC: 10.3
We do not want his counts to high as I have mentioned before and of course to low puts him neutropenic. It is finding the medium point where his body will tolerate the chemo and be able to keep his counts down that always seems hard for us. I am not sure next Monday if the doctor decides to increase the Methotrexate and 6MP, we will have to see.
We have two weeks left of school and then it is time for summer. I am traveling a bit for work this month but looking forward to our vacation in July. We will head to Camp Sunshine for the week. the boys had a wonderful time last year, eventhough Nick was on steroids. Keep praying for all our cancer kids. Karen
Nick is an amazing 6 year old fighting T-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL). He was diagnosed at 4 years old on Oct. 15, 2008 and here is the story of his courageous battle. This day changed our lives forever. Nick seemed very healthy at the time and the only signs we noticed were swollen lymph nodes on his neck. At first, we thought it could be a virus, but after 2 rounds of blood tests, the doctors confirmed our worst fear, cancer. This site is to show how strong our little boy is.
Update:
Nicholas finished treatment on 11/18/2010. He will continue to go for blood work for the next 3 years. He is still in remission.
