We checked into our apartment at Christopher’s Haven (http://christophershaven.org/). The apartment is great – a separate bedroom with a queen bed, a twin bed off the living room area with a curtain for privacy, a pull-out sofa, kitchen with dishwasher and gas stove and oven. And it’s located directly across the street from Mass General.

Rachel had her first radiation treatment, which went fine, lasted about 20 minutes. She then met with the pediatric oncologist, where they drew labs to check her blood counts.
