Harder than I thought

my little boy was diagnosed with cancer about six weeks ago. he has a wilms tumor which is a mutated kidney cell tumor. he was probably born with it. the good news is that it is very treatable. the the not-so-good news is that the 25 weeks of chemo are turning out to be a lot harder on all of us than i thought they would be. five weeks down, twenty to go. he'll also have a second surgery in the first week of december to remove the shrunken tumor and the kidney. we have a wonderful oncologist and a great surgeon, so i know it will all be fine in the end.
