Journal entry by Jessica Andresen —
Millions of worries 😟
Thousands of pills taken💊
70+ Days in the hospital 🏥
30+ blood and platelets transfusions 🩸
6 rounds of intense chemotherapy
Well folks that's a wrap.....
Ethan finished his last dose of chemotherapy yesterday at 4pm and we were heading home at 6pm! No better feeling of knowing he is done with his treatments.
We received his results back from pathology, although it looked like dead cancer cell in the lymph they want to be extra sure this never comes back. So Ethan will have to take an oral chemo pill for the next 6 months.
Looking ahead 👀
The next two weeks are typically the worst of his treatment. So for now we can't say he will not be back in the hospital until we get thur these 2 weeks.
In the next 3-4 weeks when his counts recover he will have another surgery to remove his port from his chest. Ethan does not like to touch or feel his port so this is one thing he is really happy about!
He will periodically have CT scan to make sure nothing rears it's ugly head. Because he will be taking that oral chemo pills he will have monthly doctor appointments.
Ethan is looking forward to going back to work, being with friends, starting school and not being being poked with needles all the time!
