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.

Fish 'n' chips...

...was on the menu for Friday teatime as the whole family met up at Jimmy's plus Natasha and Nicola, M's friends from Calder High. Everyone ate well, including Maddy - not bad considering she'd had a general anaesthetic ealrier in the day. She's kept up the eating far more easily on this cycle and that, combined with the NG tube used for night-time nutrition, means there is less immediate concern about her weight. Maddy hates the tube because it's quite uncomfortable - so she ends up stuffing bits of tissue around it to soften the tension on her nostril. This doesn't look too smart though - so she declined to be in a photo tonight - unlike Natasha and Nicola....



Meanwhile this blog has been running for just over a month and it has turned out to be a great success. We've had over 2500 page views in that time (the counter's right at the bottom of this page - click on the little bar graph icon for more detailed stats), and we're currently averaging over 40 unique visitors per day.
On good days it has been as high as 65 unique visitors - tending to coincide with ICT classes at Calder High.
Thanks to everyone for making this happen - keep reading and keep posting those comments.
