Often after friends inquire on how I am the very next question is regarding Luke and how he is doing through all of this so I thought I would give you all an update. When I was diagnosed originally he was so young the only part of it that he remembers is that I had no hair. So although we try very hard not to let this phase him he is well aware that my cancer is back and that I have started taking my "medicine." Of course he asked why does it keep coming back and I said simply, "I don't know, I ask myself that same question." We have always tried to answer all of his questions honestly but not offer any additional information.
The other night after his shower he wrapped his head in a towel and told me not to worry if my hair falls out he could wear his towel. Luke is incredibly sensitive but, as I think all children do, they only react to you so we are as positive as we can be and try not to talk too seriously when he is around. It is mainly because of him that we have decided to move my treatments to Tuesday afternoons that way if I don't feel well he will be in school. I will have my next treatment on Tuesday, April 3rd so we will see how this one goes. My sister Traci is here for their Spring Break which is wonderful for Luke. He, Mazie, Ryan and Malori just have a great time when they are together. I will share some pictures of all of them this week.
As always thank you for your continued support.
