Weds 15 June.
Bit stressful this morning as Maddy had a very sore mouth and throat - she couldn't talk very easily and eating and drinking also seemed very difficult. She's returning to St J's for another (her third) IT (intrathecal). This is a chemo injection directly into the spinal column fluid, done under general anaesthtic. She was also expected to have her feeding tube replaced, although in light of the state of her mouth and throat, we suspect this may not happen now.
In theory, she should be able to come home again as she's only in St J's as a day patient, but we reckon there's a fair chance she may be admitted tonight because of these other problems.
