Momcologist Traditional Geocache

This is a pretty simple small with room for TBs and small items. This is near an entrance to the new Childrens hospital with plenty of parking nearby.

This is going to be a new series in honour of our son Kallum. He was diagnosed with Leukemia with CNS 3 (blasts present in central nervous system) in January of this year. Being a parent of a "cancer kid", as they are called in our worls, is very tough. We have learned many, many things that we never thought to know about. Some of those things are an ANC (blood counts),a port and butterfly (used to adminster chemo), and neutropenia (sevear lack of white blood cells, a side effect of chemo). These are just some of the terms we have learned in the last 9 months, as well as all of the different types of chemo and procedures used on an almost weekly basis. In 2010, globally, around 281,500 died of leukemia. This is combination of adults and children. In the U.S about 245,000 people are effected with some type of leukemia, this includes people that are in remission or cured. Kallum is in remission and doing very well considering his age and what he has to go through. He is the bravest person I have had the pleasure of knowing let alone being a mother to. We are very confident that he will be cured but it will be a very long road (about three years).
