A barber was sent to Mathew's room to shave his head. It was ironic that Mathew had his head shaved prior to starting chemo. For several years Mathew had grown his hair and donated it to Locks of Love for wigs for children with cancer. Mathew had always had wonderful hair. It's an emotional thing to have done and I know each person feels differently about it. You can see the bag and drain, his bili bag, draining his bile.
A Journey through Sarcoma is a chronicle of my son's journey through Desmoplastic Small Round Cell Sarcoma. It is intended to educate and inspire by using Mathew’s thoughts and feelings, dreams and fears through a variety of mediums; art, music and writing. Sarcomas are the rarest cancers and predominantly affect the young. This is the story of Sarcoma.
