How's Maddy doing ?

Madeleine was diagnosed with an abdomenal tumour on her dad's birthday, 12 May, 2005. On 31 May, this was confirmed as NHL, Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma - Large B cell diffuse. Her chemotherapy treatment started that same evening. This blog gives you the latest news on just how she's doing.

Bright and breezy....

...are the best words to describe Maddy today.
She was decidedly lively and chatty - only breaking off from an extended call with her schoolfriend Helen because her tea arrived. She's eating quite a bit now, in addition to the TPN 'feed'. Her morpheine is now at the smallest possible dose (no IV, oral only). She does look absolutely stunning with her head shaved - very eye-catching.
She had a 'spike' (a one-off) with an above-normal temperature late yesterday, so that confirms Thursday as the earliest possible return home, but we're all really heartened by her attitude and general demeanour.
A number of people are interested in her treatment regime (known as a protocol).
I've put a summary here, for those who would like to know a bit more.
This should open in a new window that you can close to return here when you've finished with it. Please note that dates are approximate.
