Chemo,a thing of the past
Today was a huge day for Kal and now I can finally say that his chemo is now officially all over.I can hardly believe it and i don't think it's truly sunk in yet.Although when it was finished he turned to me and said "that's it I've done it,I've beaten cancer".If I didn't have a tear in my eye before that i definitely had one after it.I know I've said it before but I just have to say how proud i am of him.It's an amazing achievement and one he should be so proud of.It's something he can remember and always draw on this experience for the rest of his life.Although his chemo has finished he needs to stay in hospital as normal to get the drug out of his system.Sunday looks like being the day he'll get out and I'd love to have a little something for him as a celebration.Just as it looked like his last chemo would be a breeze he did get sick later in the night.He was given some anti nausea drugs and I gave him a long shower and it seemed to do the trick.He seemed pretty comfortable watching tele and went off to sleep with no problem.

To Kal and Darren
Kal congratulations on the chemo being over. You are a trooper and hopefully the road will be alot smoother from here and you and Dad and Mum and Shaylie can get back to some normality of life.I suppose Kal this means that you will have to get back to going to school and doing that homework again.
Darren you are a fantastic Dad who was and still is attached to Kal's hip. There are alot of people who would of struggled to do what you have done and to have stayed as strong as you have.
I am sure that Karina and Shaylie are so excited as well and as a Mum I am sure that Karina will be happy to have her family back under the same roof again.
At least you guys can start to plan your future again.
We are looking forward to catching up with you when you get home
Lots of luv Jo, Mick, Hayley and Shannon

Congratulations to all of you! After all these months, you've done it! Hopefully now you can all start getting back a bit of normality into your lives. It is a really strange feeling, finishing chemo. Scary too, without the safety net of treatment. But you've done it!!!!! Hopefully the future is full of good things for all of you; definitely you deserve it.
WWAAAHOOO - Just to think, on the 23 September 2008 who would have thought about a light at the end of the tunnel? But guess what, there was a light and look how beaming it is now. I am so excited for you both that it has all finished and that you both can come home (to your REAL home) and enjoy being a family again and having your extended family all around you. Can't wait for the celebration and believe me, you NEED to celebrate. Love you to bits. Al & family. xxxxxxxxxxx
Kal, Congratulations on finishing chemo. We have never officially met, but you were in John Hunter last November, just after my little boy had been diagnosed with Leukaemia, which was how I found out about your blog and was inspired to do the same for Drew. I have followed you all the way through and am very happy it is over with such positive results and you and your family can get back to a normal life. All the very best Donna
Hey Kal
If only the Tigers had your fight and determination!
We are super happy that you've reached the end of your treatment. It is a great feeling isn't it? Hope you are too crook as you get it out of your system.
If you need a break make sure you come up and see us in Port Macquarie. We'd love to have you and the family here.
Good on you.
Todd, Mel, Zach and Alani.
Well Kal I hope this last one is kind to you as it gets out your system. It's such a fantastic result and you have hung in there through it all so well with Dad by your side. Hopefully this is the end of all the crap and you'll get stronger every day once you get home and you don't have the chemo knocking you about every few weeks. See you on Sunday. love K, M, I & S xxxx
You're right Kal - you've done it. The Dr said it would be a fight, and my word you have pulled out all the courage, and more, to get through. Good on ya braveheart. Here's to getting back to normal, not only you, but being able to be home with all the family there.
Lots of love and thoughts
