Once again, congratulations.
reading the OP and thinking about my future child/children made me think it was all dusty or someone was cutting an onion near me or something. All the best Chiefaholic.

My friends' toddler had cancer more than twenty years ago. He's been cancer free since. They either don't understand what they have or their system is too young to lose to it. Either way they usually beat it for good. |

Awesome!
Is this the kind of thing that they think will be gone forever or is it like a temporary remission kind of thing? Is lymphoma a tough cancer to beat or is it one of the less serious cancers (if there is such a thing, but you get what I'm saying)?

Cody (my grandson) had been going through regular chemo treatments roughly every three weeks. We checked his blood count weekly (occasionally bi-weekly) to watch his ANC count, WBC (white Blood Cell), RBC (Red Blood Cells), Hemoglobin, Platelets, etc. If his levels drop too low, he's extremely prone to infections, bacteria, and viruses. To keep his count up, I had to give him a Neupogen shot daily when the doctor requested me to do so. As a grandparent, it was really hard at first because he didn't understand why we were giving him shots. But, over time, he understood what we were doing and even asked if I was going to "poke his leg" and get his Sesame Street bandaid. When the nurse would use a lancet to prick his finger, he ask her if she was, "going to milk the cow" the last few times. Now all he has is one more chemo treatment, have his G-Tube and Pic Line removed, and get his blood count back to normal again. Then he'll have to do a check-up every three months for a while and gradually increase the time periods between checkups. I don't know all the specifics at this time on the frequency of check-ups. Regardless, this little fella is tough as nails, and I'm one proud "Papa". I'm looking forward to many trips to the lake to go fishing, football at Arrowhead, and baseball at Busch stadium.
