For the Record

Jethenro has been plagued with increased environmental allergies this year.  Sinusitis has hit him hard. Other years, he has been able to push through a couple of weeks, but this year the symptoms are hanging on longer than usual.  One round of antibiotics in May helped, but the symptoms returned within a few days after the last dose.  Natural remedies are helping some, but not enough. And with home remedies we have to be careful because some herbs/plants interact with the chemo he is on.

It also appears that the local pediatrician and the Oncologist have had some opposing positions on what to do. Oncologist wins of course, even though he has not seen my son personally in more than 4 months.

My immediate job~research like crazy~do what is best for my son~and be very informed the next time I speak to anyone on the ONC  team.  I am quite frustrated with them today.
