Well, it has been about six months since Joey finished Chemo and so far all is well. He gets checked once a month to be sure no signs of Cancer have returned. We still go to the same hospital but the visits are a lot quicker.

Joey, I looked at your pictures, and I have to say you have a great family. I saw a picture with you and your little sister. Little sisters are great cause you get to teach em good boy stuff. My son and I try to watch Batman and Spiderman as much as possible. Did you see the Iron Man movie. I took my son to it and he loved it! Do you know who Thor is? DC comics are making a new movie coming out 2010, I hope it's a good one.

Well you take care,

Cameron

P.S. I'm one of your dad's normal friends.

Hello again my handsome boy! I guess you're getting too old to call you cutety boy. I hope you had a fantastic summer and school is full of all kinds of interesting and fun days ahead. I really, really, can't wait till next summer, when I get you and your family camping on the beach!!! I know where you can watch the dolphins swimming and jumping in the water. I am soooo excited thinking about. We are going to have a BLAST!

YOU DID IT !!!

Joey,
I am so proud of you. Today was your last chemotherapy appointment and you were very brave. It is finally here, a chance for you to live a life without pills and pain. I wish I could leave you a longer message but just thinking about all you have been through and your appointment earlier, I just can not hold back the tears. I love you Joey. I love you so much. You are my favorite Joey in this entire world.
Love,
Mom

Joey,
You don't know us we have been keeping up on your treatments thru Paul Boyd. He contacted us a couple of years ago while fund raising and we have kept track of you since then. It sounds like you're getting near the end of your treatments... I'm sure you will be very happy when that happens. Keep up the good spirits I know the nurses in the Childrens Hospital are wonderful. I speak from experience.... My son Corey had Leukemia when he was 17 and the doctors & nurses were wonderful. He was to sick to go to Camp Rainbow then, but since then he has been a counselor there in Aug for about 8 years. He is now 29 years old and just got married 2 weeks ago now both he and his wife Lindsey will be counselors. I hope my son & I will meet you someday.
Keep smiling and have fun!!! Sally
