Back to hospital today. Drew has been in really high spirits and didn't seem to mind going back to hospital today, I on the other hand feel like I'm leading the lamb to the slaughter, knowing that he needs the chemotherapy, but hating that it is going to make him sick. Drew had the dressing changed by Nurse Leonie, who was very gentle, there was a little bit of discomfort because it is still tender from the surgery and it needed to be thoroughly cleaned, it wasn't too bad and should be easier each dressing change from now. Drew was allowed in the Starlight Room for the very first time, while we waited for his blood results and he was so excited, unfortunately once the chemo starts and his count starts to fall, it will be the last time for a while. Chemo started at 2.15pm which means it won't finish to 10.15pm each day. Later on today Drew broke down about his treatment and the worry about getting better and then getting sick again and of course dying - the poor little bugger has so much to contend with.
