My 2 year old son just had his kidney removed becaue of Wilms tumor. We are waiting for the results from pathology to determine what type of chemotherapy he will undergo. The last 5 days have been like a haze, it is unbelievable and we wish it was a nightmare.
Can any of you guys give me some insight on what to expect with chemotherapy? We don't know anything, the doc's won't say much until the pathologist results come in. Posted on 01/18/09, 08:01 pm |
