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.

OK, but tired

Maddy's done really well on this cycle compared with the previous two, but she's starting to feel the downside a bit now. Just as at the same point in the last cycle, Maddy's holding everyone's attention with some blood pressure tricks - but everyone's trying to get used to this as part of the natural rhythm of the chemo cycle. She's sleeping through a lot of it, although she did get into the dayroom for an hour or so to view this blog and email messages.
She's kept up with her eating far better in this cycle, mainly becasue her mouth is less affected this time round - although it's hit her hands instead.
She's being rather canny on the food front - as she latches on to all the sort of stuff her parents would normally resist, knowing that she'll get a green light to eat just about anything - 'Dairylea lunchables' being the latest example.
Most impressively though, she's still very spirited and looking forward to a whole load of visitors tomorrow and Friday.

    Hi Maddy,
    Thought I'd drop you a note just telling you how the Warrington rabble are doing. Nothing changes for me at work still chasing drug dealers around the country and Wendy is coping with her new challenges at work. Wendy went to watch Liverpool last night(no common sense), sorry Robert.Marnie and Fi are nearing the completeion of their school term and as you are aware Marnie is now preparing mentally for her new school down south. We will come over soon and visit and I think it only right to say that we are all so proud of you.
    Now that I know this facility is here you wont get me off it, see you soon and sleep well , God Bless
    Graham.
