Week 2




Zachary has completed 1 week of radiation and has also started the chemotherapy. So far so good. Zac's appetite has been affected and this is evident as he has lost 2 pounds this week. The good news is that his blood count is good. Today we started a new medicine for nausea which should help his appetite. His spirit is very upbeat. I included a picture of him about to receive his radiation therapy. He is incredible. He will lie there without moving for up to an hour. The doctor's have told us most kids his age need to be sedated for the procedures. Can you imagine how terrible it would be if he had to be sedated on a daily basis?
