Today Nathan received his first peptide vaccine. It was an incredibly hard day because we want to do everything we can to help Nathan and we hope we are making the right decision for his care. Nathan has been on chemo for one year. Although it was not easy to watch your child receive chemotherapy, we felt that we were in a safe place and it was working to control the tumor. We know this new treatment plan has great possibilities, but it also has great risks. Today we pray that this is the beginning of Nathan's cure. He is the youngest child in the study, so there is no data to say what we can expect. We just have to wait. trust the great minds that have developed this study, and pray.
Noona gave Nathan Simba to bring with him. He is a strong king that will help Nathan be strong today as he has to endure this pain. All of the children we meet at the hospital have more strength than we can imagine. They fight every day to be healthy. It is amazing to see all of the kids going through such pain, but they never stop smiling.
