39 days to go!

We can see the light at the end of the tunnel. It’s a beautiful bright light. Sohum had an appointment yesterday for his blood count and thankfully, his counts have recovered. His ANC has jumped back up and the chemo has been restarted.

On 26th Oct, he will have his last IV chemo dose and most likely, on the 27th will be his port removal surgery. He needs to continue taking oral pills until the 15th of Nov and after that, we will be all done.

I have waited for this day for a really long time. So, I am really looking forward to it.

That’s all for now!
