Once again, Steven is getting methotrexate. I'm including some pictures from last time. He is still just getting hydrated right now, hopefully he can start the chemo in the next couple of hours.
Steven was nine years old when he was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in February 2011. His knee was amputated in a procedure known as Van Ness Rotationplasty. He is determined to beat cancer.

Round 6,week 10--last chemo before surgery
I kind of feel like Bill Murray in Groundhogs Day right now. We are back in the hospital for our last round of chemo before Steven's surgery and we are in the same room we were last time doing the same chemo and watching the same cartoon. This time Steven is doing better and today the sun is shining. I hope this round goes better for him. Tomorrow while we are here, he will have an MRI (mostly to help plan the surgery), a CT scan to check his lungs (they don't usually see tumor growth during chemo, but just in case), and a bone scan (to make sure the cancer hasn't spread to other places). We will also visit with the surgeon and get a better understanding of what to expect. If you have any questions--ask them now!
