One Step Closer to Wellness

After 4 months and 5 cycles of chemotherapy to shrink the tumor in my son's kidney he was finally operated on last week,June 9, 2009. The surgery went well and the urologist was able to remove his left kidney along with the tumor intact and there was no spillage outside the kidney. My son is healing well from the surgery and the long cut in the middle of his abdomen is closing already and will hardly be noticeable soon. We had to stay a little longer because he got an infection and needed antibiotics so all in all we were in the hospital for a week and seven days and we both just couldn't wait to get home. He has started radiation therapy the other day and still has 4 more sessions to go then back to the hospital for another round of chemo. Still have to find out from his oncologist how many more rounds to go. In the meantime, trying to enjoy being at home and doing the usual chores and trying not to think of going back to the hospital next week.
