I am a former cancer parent. I say former because he is six years out and a healthy thirteen yearold now. I have been exactly in your shoes. Take one day at a time. Be your child's advocate. Take care of yourself so you can take care of them. Reach out for help when you need it. Use holistic medicine in conjunction with Western. Nutrition helps a body endure the chemo storm. Find support groups to help answer questions you may have as well as a shoulder to lean on. Best cancer parent tip I learned was fresh grated ginger juice works better than any nausea drugs they can prescribe. It was a saving grace for us. Sending prayers for angels to surround you a boy.
You can get a cheap juicer at Target for around $50 bucks and then buy fresh ginger root. Tastes great with red apple and orange. Juice is all up and keep in glass jars in fridge. Also you can juice fresh greens, always add lemon and an apple for taste. Even 1 per day if can be tolerated, it is amazing goodness for your cells. I will say a prayer for your precious child!!
Thank you. It is so hard to find things he can tolerate so I will definitely look into it. At this point I would milk an angry hippo if I thought I could get him to drink it.
Check out the book Curing Cancer with Carrots by Ann Cameron. It's really an awesome book. You don't have to do anything she says, but it's really really good to read all the information you can about God's medicine - food. Ginger juiced with carrots, lemon and sweet apples is absolutely DELICIOUS. And it's incredibly healing! Do a dive into this stuff. Chemo destroys all the good and bad cells in the body - it damages the IS (Immune System) making the body susceptible to all kinds of other attacks (viral, bacterial, etc..). Another excellent source - drjockers.com, also Green Med Info (Sayer Ji), Mike Adams Health Ranger. The bonus is that all these guys are conservative/libertarian. If you'd like more info, pm me...
Molegaleagle: Go online to Chrisbeatcancer.com Chris Wark has lots of info recipes, etc. Site is very comprehensive and great support.
His books are national bestsellers. He went down this path himself, alone at the time, and does his best to make as much help for what your son, and you, are going through, as possible known so noone else has to walk the path alone.
You have my prayer to God and my empathy - I had a cancer scare before and know the anguish, fear, worry & sleeplessness it causes.
I vouch for Ginger root - check out the Motivational doc on ginger's properties.
(lots of good stuff sprinkled in his vids if interested)

And you will probably need help sleeping - chamomile, melatonin and my prescription, keeping a tv on with no brainer escape content works miracles. Things that don't snap you into reality or negativity. (at least that's how I deal with it)
Keep praying.
Follow up to the othe person replying to this comment. Ginger can be eaten in its raw root form, just wash it. (Too much ginger can upset the stomach though)
Make ginger tea. Ginger root, cut into slices, about an 2 inches long. 35oz. Of water, steep in almost boiling water. Cover with lid. Wait till cool then heat up to desired temp. Will be very peppery add honey. Does wonders for me.
Fever Tree Ginger Beer is really strong on the ginger too. Also very sweet. Probably better for kids. Kept my nausea down when I was pregnant though... and I went through like 5 imported ginger beers trying to find the strongest.
I first had Bundaberg on a mission trip in Kenya after a run in with some bad sukuma wiki and githeri. I was surprised a few months ago when I found it at my local Wal-Mart.
A few hits a day keeps the nausea and poo Ain away... plus increased appetite. Also, tons of anecdotal.. cuz they won't study... But weed somehow makes chemo work much better. If my kid was 4, I'd still do it.

Powdered ginger root is also thought to be effective in killing cancer stem cells
Edit: can also be encapsulated if he doesnt like the taste, it is strong

Carrot ginger apple juice is a really good combo.

Try the Kroger on union ave. There's also a fresh market on union ave .
I can send you ginger if you need it. I'm Asian and we use that stuff all the time.
Where did you guys get treatment? It’s nice to hear from those that have made it through the gauntlet!
FYI...Ginger has been used for hundreds of years to treat seasickness.
Praying for you and your son. You sound like a great team !! God Bless.
CHLA, Los Angeles. It's the largest children's hospital on the West Coast. But, I'm very familiar with St. Jude.
"I am a former cancer parent." Ah jeez don't lead with that. I was already chopping onions here.
... Also, look for a good ginger beer like Bundaberg.
Bundaberg is legit. So strong.
