Today we are documenting the healing of the ulceration. It looks so much better than it did in May. This week has been a more difficult chemo again. It was harder for the first couple days this time. Corban just does not feel well. I have tried to manage the discomfort with medicine as best I can. It is so hard to watch him suffer. It breaks me! I wish I had a magic wand. I don't, so I pray. Today he seems to be doing better. He has completely lost his appetite, which is really strange since he has always been my foodie, even before he was on the steroids. He has not lost the silly boy though. He has a suction tube (from the plastic sleeve that he puts over his pick line to shower) sucked onto his tongue in this picture.
He is nine years old, very brave and strong. This is his battle with Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma (ALCL).
