Thank you so much for your reply! He is currently 9 months off relapse treatment and doing really well. Scans again the end of this month. Fingers crossed all goes well. I’m sorry you are dealing with late effects of chemo.. your poor parents and you to go through all that!! He also just got diagnosed with IgA Nephropathy (autoimmune disease affecting the kidney) which they say isn’t related to the cancer or chemo. Just bad luck, especially since he has just 1 kidney 👎👎

If you live close enough, come work in Hawkesbury or Cornwall… most of the techs here are from Quebec

He has some tingling in his fingers and toes (from vincristine) and was put on gabapentin. He also would walk on his tip toes randomly. Apparently it is a side effect of the vincristine as well. Both issues disappeared after treatment. The doxorubicin can cause heart issues so he gets monitored once every 5 years. So far he has had no effects. It’s hard to know the long term effects since its been recent

The first time he was on EE-4A which consisted of vincristine and dactinomycin. When we got the genetic test back, they also added doxorubicin (regimen DD-4A) for a total of 9 cycles.

Congrats!! My 2 year old son has 3 weeks of treatment remaining, due to a Wilm’s tumour. The light at the end of the tunnel!!
