No one likes needles

You all know how much a flu shot hurts...magnify that ten times, and picture getting it twice. Ouch, right? Well, Jack is headed back to the Valerie Center this morning for his Day 15 of Interim Maintenance PEG shots. These are shots of Peg-L-Asparaginase directly into Jack's leg muscles. It is a heavy dose of chemo that starves cancer cells of the amino acid asparagine. Without asparagine, the cancer cells die. The benefit of the shots is pretty clear, but that doesn't make getting them any easier. So please keep Jack (and Damond!) in your thoughts today!
