Well we are back home and will be here till the end of the week. Harry has had a good couple of days and we have had a few laughs between us, and a few tears. The hardest part is when he gets upset and says 'why me?' How can you answer that question? The words chemotherapy and your child shouldn't be mentioned in the same sentence, yet Harry will be starting chemo on Monday next week. He had a few tests today, and has got a hearing test tomorrow and then a PET scan on Thursday. Harry is planning on going into school possibly on Friday, as he would like to catch up with some of his friends, however his number one priority at the moment is the apple mac that he wants to buy.
The chemo is going to be pretty tough going and I am sure at this stage I really have no idea how tough it is going to be, but one thing I know is that if nothing else Harry will get through this because of his strong spirit and the fact that he is surrounded by so many people who love him, both here and in England.
If anyone wants to send Harry an 'e' mail you can contact him on harry.oneill8@gmail.com
Nanny Jen who is the UK had the unenviable task of telling his great grandmother that Harry has bone cancer, which was unpleasant as Nan had been through chemo herself and new how poorly the little chap was going to be.
