sydney is getting to come back home today and doesn't have to go back until thursday. they inserted her port for chemo treatments, did a bone marrow aspiration and spinal tap yesterday.......along with her first round of chemo. WOW! she's only 5 you say; she has been a real trooper. so brave and strong.
she has embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma. that was the final diagnosis. sydney will have to go everyweek for 43 weeks/chemo treatments everyweek. radiation starts in probably 2-3 weeks. when that happends, they will have to stay in b'ham...about 5 weeks, but get to come home on weekends. goodness, you say; the doctors told cynthia and jamie that this chemo schedule was NOTHING compared to some kids schedules.
soooo.....we've got a road ahead of us, full of curves. hopefully, Lord willing, we will not face many speed bumps...like sickness.
please continue to pray for sydney, cynthia, jamie and dawson.
check out sydney's own blog. this will keep you updated on how she's progressing.
