Proton, done.
Today marks the last day at the WPE and Zac’s final session of proton. I take him in for his appointment and, once recovered, he is allowed to ring the end of treatment bell. Seb, Joseph, Sue, and Keith are all allowed in to watch his big moment and the hospital staff gather round to applaud. All the emotions are felt as we help him climb the little step ladder and then hear him clang that bell.
We are so proud of him and so pleased that he has finished treatment. He has been through so much and, even though periods have been incredibly difficult, he has adapted to so many changes and we have all made it through together. After ringing the bell, we watch as he kicks a football around with his little brother in the play area of the waiting room and then head back to the house for celebratory cake.
