Last day of treatment!

Today was my last day of chemo! It went pretty well, although I'm feeling a bit sick now from the medicine. I'm excited to get back to school pretty soon, but I will miss on the 15th for my last PET scan. I'm especially looking forward to go back to art, because it's my favorite class.

Here I'm giving myself a Heparin flush, the last thing we did today!


This is me with my nurse, Emily! She was with me for chemo, and I really like her.


This is one of my doctors, Dr. Belyea. I met him during the last cycle of chemo. He's really funny! He does a lot of cancer research with mice and he dressed like a mouse for Halloween.



I had a great Thanksgiving! It was really fun because we had three dinners on Thursday, Friday, and Sunday. The Stelows came over and ate with us which was great. I'm thankful for my family and all the visitors that came to see me since I started chemo!

My teachers, Ms. Nicholson and Ms. P came to see me last week


Here's me, my brother and sister at UVA Hospital

This is my family with Aunt Jean and Grandma Davis last week in Chapel Hill.


Keep checking for more updates as we get closer to the finish line! I'll put up more pictures when I feel a bit better.

    Awesome news Marcos! I remember when Aunt Tina finished her Chemo, it was a happy day! I look forward to seeing you next week, and we can compare our bald heads! Love you much, Uncle Sam

    Marcos, it was so great seeing you at the CHS game last night. You always have, and always will be, an inspiration! Big hugs, Mrs. Craft
