Back to School Soon

Abby had an appointment with her Neuro Oncologist on Thursday. All of her counts are good, she is doing great and has the approval of her doctor to return to school. School starts on Wednesday, August 11th. Abby has made the choice to start school after her Child Life Specialist can go to her class and talk to the kids. Her CLS, Andie, was able to go to her class at the end of last year to explain to the kids why Abby is no longer in class and tell them a little about cancer and the treatment Abby would go through. Well, this year of course it is a new grade and new students, so Abby would feel more comfortable if Andie talked to the kids about cancer and her hair loss. Although Abby is handling all of it very well, she understands that she does not have hair, people are curious and want to know why. She knows that she needs to wear a hat when she is outside, but immediately takes off her hat when she is inside. She seems to not care too much about her hair loss. She has mentioned that she hopes it grows back brown like before and long enough for a ponytail:)

4 more radiation treatments to go! Almost done! Yeah!
