Just a test

On this "week off" from chemo and clinic visits, Logan will make a trip up to the main campus of Children's Hospital. He has to undergo an echo-cardiogram to check how his heart is functioning. This is routine, and he has to have this done because one of the chemotherapy drugs he will start next week poses a risk to his heart. A fancy word: cardiotoxicity, that just means it can damage his heart. Like many of his chemo drugs, the potential side effects are often quite significant. It is really no choice, but it still stinks. The hope is that he does not have any ill-effects, but there is no guarantee. From heart damage and nerve damage to secondary cancers, I try not to think about potential side effects. This is not something I can control. I will think positively and hope for the best. Logan is a strong little superhero, and he is just going along like any other little 3 year old.
