Noah’s feeling much better..

Noah’s feeling much better after taking Zofran and finally up to eating something. After relaxing most of the morning, he has color back into his face and says he is feeling much better! He is up and playing his engineering game building more titanic ships.

It was most likely the delayed side effects of Methotrexate from Wednesday. He always feels it 2-3 days afterwards. But I am thankful he is feeling much better!

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.
