Final poison

Braeden had his final Avastin infusion today.  I am happy that this part is for over him.  Avastin works differently than chemotherapy.  Chemotherapy attacks the cancer cells of the tumor.  Avastin blocks the growth of new blood vessels that feed his tumor.  The side effects of Avastin can be serious, and typically not recommended for use in children. (I know that Braeden, is a man-child, but until he turns 100 he will always be my baby, lol.) 

So what is next?

I asked this same question of the medical team today. 

• Following up with Dr. Smith about the SSEP. (The testing has not been ordered, as of yet)
• Following up with OT at Duke to try to get an appointment.  Duke OT is only seeing via video, and Dr. Smith would like him to be measured for a new brace.
• Spinal Cervical MRI on 5/13

Then what?

I don't know, but this "journey" is not over.  We appreciate all the prayers and can't wait for this chapter to be complete.

Love to you all!

I will end with the funniest Braeden-ism of my day.  We were navigating our way through Duke, and I missed a turn.  Braeden said, "Wow Mom." I told him to shush, that I have had cancer and my chemo brain is at work lol . He then replied, "Mom, you had cancer in your b***S, I have had cancer in my brain and my spine, and I still know where to go."  

He makes me laugh at the most unexpected moments,  Love him so much!
