Mason has been taking the low-dose chemo for almost two weeks. He takes the three pills pretty easily with apple juice. At first his balance seemed to be affected by the chemo. He fell at least 2 to 3 times a day the first week. It was heart stopping. We almost put a helmet on him! The Accutane makes his skin dry and his nose peels and he has some dry skin around his mouth. He has some nausea but not much and the meds take care of that.
We had a trip to the emergency room last night for fever. They drew blood to check for bacteria(which was negative), got some antibiotics, and we were able to come home. Mason was happy he did not have to go to school today and got to hang out and play school with Francisca. Mommy slept as it was a late night, and she needed a serious nap by mid-day.
The next MRI is scheduled for March 7. It is tough for all of us not to worry too much and keep a normal life going. We manage as best we can, play lots of soccer and just try our best to enjoy every day we have together as a family.

In one of the stars, I shall be living.
In one of them, I shall be laughing.
And so it will be as if all the stars were laughing when you look at the sky at night.

What Cancer Cannot Do-- Cancer is so limited; It cannot cripple Love; It cannot shatter Hope; It cannot corrode Faith; It cannot destroy Peace; It cannot kill Friendship; It cannot suppress Memories; It cannot silence Courage; It cannot invade the Soul; It cannot steal Eternal Life; It cannot conquer Mason's Spirit!
In loving memory of Mason Robert Leach
