Seth went to Westmead yesterday and the doctors finally spoke that word we have been waiting for. Seth is in remission!!!!! Officially there is one test result to come called an MRD that can pick up tiny amounts of left over cancer cells. If this is clear we are all good BUT he has gained the remission title as they cannot find any traces of Leukaemia in his bone marrow. So, so happy!!!
After we recieved that good news, we got another phone call from the "Make a Wish Foundation". They will be granting Seth his wish (which is to sleep on a boat in the queensland islands and fly in a helicopter). I must say, yesterday was a very happy day in our house!!
Tomorrow Seth has to go to hospital to begin his methotrexate chemo. He should be there between 3 - 5 days if all goes well. His hair is starting to thin out alot again, I assume from the oral chemo he is on, but he is still styling away with copious amounts of gel so I think we will leave it for as long as we can.
Oh that is wonderful, and his wish reminds me of Jesus sleeping on the boat in the midst of a storm. You should read him that story before he goes. I hope he enjoys his wish, he has truly earnt it, what a brave boy throughout all this, he is an example to us all.xxx
ReplyDeleteDear Seth,
ReplyDeleteI am glad you are better now. Now you can go and play and be strong and healthy. I can't wait to play with you again at Sunday school. I know you will be happy when they take that tube out of your chest. Hopefully you can come to my house sometime. I hope you get your super hero strength back soon after all of the medicine and hard work.
Love from Will.W
