Closer to the end of the appointment I still got a chance to talk to Doctor Thomas and he had told me that everything was still going according to plan.

The surgery would be in 4 weeks and there would only be 2 chemotherapy sessions following after this one.

Knowing, that this would all be over soon made me want to cry in relief, but I managed to keep it together. Charlie, who had kept himself busy by playing some games with Damien during the appointment, was now tired and exhausted and when Damien picked him up to carry him the rest of the way, he just yawned and wrapped his arms around his father’s neck.
