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.

More drama

Drama featured again in Maddy's life, but not in the medical sense this time.
On Thursday evening, the Calder High Junior Presentation evening took place at the HB Picture House. Maddy was in the programme to receive an award for drama, but in her absence, Alex accepted it on her behalf.
Meanwhile, at Jimmy's, Maddy was visited by friends from Year 10 and Calder Valley Youth Theatre. Her blood pressure's been more stable today, but is still under par.
She spent much of the day sleeping, to work off a headache resulting from Tuesday's IT procedure. She has another IT scheduled for Friday.

One small milestone today though, has been the last of the fourth cycle's chemo drugs, cytarabine.
She now has to ride the side effects before recovering to face, hopefully, her last cycle. She's unlikely to feel very well over the next few days, but will certainly brighten up for visitors.
