Central Line Chemo finished!!!

Last week was extremely busy with 4 days at hospital for chemo and a lumbar puncture. Seth has finally finished the chemotherapy that needs to be administered through his central line. This means that in a couple of weeks, the line can be taken out. He has been to school again for a couple more days, but is too tired to make the whole day. Tomorrow he has to have a platelet transfusion and also a haemoglobin transfusion. His counts are expected to drop further as the last two weeks of chemo continue to take effect. Hopefully there won't be too many transfusions for him as there is always the risk that he will develop a fever with a transfusion.
Once his counts begin to rise again, he will be put on what they call "maintenance" which is oral chemotherapy. They still haven't told me what is involved in maintenance so I cannot pass on any information about the next stage just yet.
Seth is very much looking forward to getting his central line out. He talks about it every day and asks how much longer every day. He says he doesn't remember what life was like without a central line, so it will be a great day when it comes out for him.
