The Sonny Report (5)


Laura and Sonny
At last some good news! Sonny is in remission. Halfway through his chemo they did a scan and there were zero cancer cells found. He has to continue the treatment, of course, to ensure it doesn't return and there are complications which are temporary and minor by comparison. We are not getting carried way but are causitiously optimistic for his future.
Oh sod it, we're bloody ecstatic!
The Facebook Support Group now has over 360 members and the benefit of that and other support has been invaluable. Thanks to everyone who gave support!

Bazza - How did I miss this? I am so happy that the tests are back but so sorry that you're going through this. What a precious child!

Sending prayers for continued healing.

It all happened so quickly Mimi. Lymphoma is a very agressive cancer and rare in a child but the treatment is aggressive too so, although unpleasent, it happens quickly. Thanks for your good wishes, I hope you are also recovering well!

Hey bazza,
Oh yes, this is most encouraging and heartening news. My warmest wishes to Sonny and to all your family, that the progress continues in a most optimistic way.
It is my great privilege and honour being a part of his Facebook Support Group :-)
All the very best to you and your loved ones.
In kindness, Gary.

Gary: Yes, I have seen your name there and, believe me, it's great to see! Your good wishes will be passed on.

dcrelief: Thank you so much, much appreciated.

Alicia: I'm so pleased the news lifted you! Imagine how we feel. Although we knew there is 90% success rate one can't help focussing on the other 10%.
