Wow, you all sound like you are doing fantastically with this big curve ball life has thrown your way, and your son sounds wonderfully healthy and sound. He is so lucky to have this kind of cancer rather than some of the other real doozies. I'm sure he will do beautifully, harrowing as the process is, and you will too. The best of all strength and health to you all, Nanny-Co<br><div><html>On Apr 17, 2008, at 11:09 PM, <a href="mailto:MVSPS@aol.com">MVSPS@aol.com</a> wrote:</html><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><font id="role_document" face="Arial" color="#000000" size="2"> <div>Hi Kate -</div> <div> </div> <div>Zach was here this eve for dinner - a menu that he requested! A favorite and healthy meal . . . yet, I surprised him with Mom's brownies! Took them home to share at work and with brother, Ben, who is driving down tomorrow from Boston to spend the weekend with him.</div> <div> </div> <div>Kate, he is a wonder! Has all the info which he shared with me tonight . . . the chemo will not be easy; he knows he may be hospitalized, yet is already fighting against that. Told him that me casa e su casa if he needs to be with someone - my company has given me "charte blanche" for time off - amazing.</div> <div> </div> <div>I gave him a Livestrong wristband tonight - so excited! Noticed I was wearing one. Also gave him a Journal Book . . . to write down feelings, emotions . . . he looked at me and said ,you know me so well . . . have been thinking about being the younger Lance Armstrong . . . to get pediatrisions (sp) to educate boys about their testicles, to feel them et al. To know when something is not right. Zach has never had any sensitivity there, so this was a total surprise! A lump around his stomach is what started everything 5 weeks ago.</div> <div> </div> <div>He looks terrific - the weight loss is where he wants to be . . . 6' 2" tall - has been heavy - is now "GQ"</div> <div>wants to maintain this look! So, I started to document with a photo . . . with many more to come!</div> <div>He is living life and is educated.
