10th Chemo - surrounded by love

Our best friends Sean and Sophie Hsu came to visit us from LA

Radiation + chemo is tough.  The rashes that started during the whole brain radiation treatment still wakes Gohan up itching at night, which, in coupled with the chemotherapy, making him more fatigued.  Thankfully the burn on his forehead and the skin cracks behind his ears from the radiation have healed.  His inner ear canal swelling (also from radiation) has improved, but our ENT doctor advises not to travel by air until his ears have fully recovered.

His appetite is poor, nonetheless being a person with discipline and perseverance, he managed to keep his weight up.  The oncology nutritionists at both Stanford and El Camino Hospital told us that he is one of the small percentage of chemotherapy patients who didn't lose weight.  Kudos to Gohan!

Despite the challenges and discomfort, his spirit is strong and his smile is big.  He bravely received the chemo #10.  We want to attribute this to the kindness and support that we have been receiving.  Every week, we have friends and family visit us from near and far.  We see what God's love is. We continue to fight because we are surrounded by love.
