2 down, 1 to go

Our little miracle has just completed his third chemo therapy treatment and,isn't feeling any too well... But part of that is also because 2 bottom teeth suddenly decided to break through over night and, I mean that litterally. I haden't even noticed any signs of that they were on their way this time, until he started chewing on my finger earlier and, there they were... So my big boy's now got 6 teeth...

believe it or not, but there haven't been any mishaps at all this time and, what's more, is that we have gotten wonderful news!

2 tumours down!

That's right! The 2 tumours in his right eye seem to have disappeared, died and, dissolved into nothingness. Ah maybe not quite, there's a couple of scars left, but they are at least inactive now...

The one in his left eye has shrunk considerebly, but it requiered a little bit of laser treatment this time as well.

The doctor could now also say for sure that the sentre of the macula of the retina, which is the part of the eye that is responsible for central, high resolution vision, doesn't seem to have been effected by the tumours at all. In other words, his vision is not severely damaged and, it seems, barely damaged at all.

Complications can of course stil occur, but things look very promising right now.

Little kangaroo-cub still has one treatment left to complete this cycle of chemo therapy, but hopefully, hopefully, he'll be done with that after next time.

It seems as if I spend every moment that he's awake hugging on him and, telling him that "he'll be alright now. He has done so well and, he'll be alright now..."
