Carter's Cancer Update

So they found that the tumor in his tesie was a secondary tumor, but could not did out where the cancer started as he does not show ANY signs if being sick. The doctors were stumped. So they took some samples of bone marrow and ran tests. They also sent some off to St judes Childrens hospital in the states (we live in canada) and Toronto sick kids. Turns out he has acute Myeloid leukemia. They are still bit sure which stage (they are waiting for the finalized results) but should know in a week or so. They said he will need chemo. For now, they are sending him Thursday for a bone scan. Then Tuesday he will have an echocardiograph ( looks at how his wary functions), a ct scan and send him home with a catheter and bag for 24hrs ( they need enlarge urine sample).
My heart is breaking. I am glad he is so young and resilient to everything but at the same time no family or baby should ever have to go through this! It's still so hard to believe my baby boy has cancer! Ge looks and acts so healthy!

Me and him just this past Saturday ^
