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.

Maddy's been home for 24 hours now.
Everyone (well almost everyone !) seems to want to know how long she'll be at home for.

In short, we just don't know.
This is because she may have to return to St James's for unplanned visits if/when she gets an infection.
Also, her consultant is not sticking to a rigid application of the treatment protocol, but will seek to readmit her as soon as she's fit enough to cope with the next cycle.
This means that the treatment will be even tougher for Maddy as she'll have less respite between cycles. However, the whole treatment period should be shorter and, according to results from clinical trials, should help secure a better outcome.
