3rd week off Chemo – The Amazing Noah

Hey guys! Can you believe Noah is starting his 3rd week off of treatment already!!?
He has been feeling amazing since being off chemo! His feet and ankles are the only thing bothering him, they just hurt when he is outside playing. He is rebuilding a lot of muscle that he had lost during treatment and he has such great energy!
We go back to clinic in two weeks for a count check and I am anxious to see how much his counts are improving!
Noah has been back to skiing about once a week now and asked me if he could play fall soccer this year!
It is a great feeling knowing how good his little body has been feeling.
We are slowly getting back into the groove of normalcy. We had our first little gathering for Easter with his grandparents, his older sister and her husband. He had his first dental appointment last week…since his diagnosis. He has an eye appointment next week and then back to his cardiologist for a full follow up the week after.
As always, we will continue to keep you all updated on Noah post treatment and he is looking forward to some more cool
Food review soon!

Symptoms

ALL symptoms start when leukemia cells crowd out normal blood cells in bone marrow. The types of symptoms your child has will depend on the numbers of cancer cells and healthy blood cells.

Children with B-cell ALL may:

Bleed or bruise more easily than usual

Feel very tired

Get infections more often

Lose their appetite

Other symptoms include:

Bone or joint pain

Limping

Fever

Pale skin

Red or purple spots called petechiae on the skin

Swollen lymph nodes in the neck, underarms, or groin

If the cancer cells travel to your child’s liver and spleen, these organs can grow large enough to make the belly swell. In some boys, the testicles can also grow larger.
