As Luke approaches his 4th week of delayed intensification, his hair has started to fall (should grow back in a few months). Although this was an expected side effect of the new medicines, it wasn’t easy to see initially.
Luke is doing very well in all aspects of his therapy so far, and we are thankful for that. We pray that he stays happy and encouraged with his “new look”.
I told him that God’s giving him a haircut, and will probably take all of his hair, but will give it back. He said he’s fine with that.
This morning, he did look in the mirror and said “I don’t like my hair”. That was sad to hear, but we are looking forward to this phase being over successfully and look forward to resuming a more “normal” life as we enter the maintenance period of his treatment that should begin in about 5 or 6 weeks, and lasts about 2 ½ years.
Thank you for your continued prayers and support!
praying always!
