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.

Quiet

It's been a quiet weekend in Hebden for Maddy and her parents. The boys are away until Sunday night, staying with family friends in the Peak District and many friends and neighbours are also away on holiday. Maddy was visited by Alex, Katy & Natasha though, along with Mandy & Katie (Alex's mum - aka "The Chauffeur" and sister).
Unusually, the Yates family are well up to speed with the latest film releases - Tim Burton's production of the Roald Dahl story, "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" being the most recent title to join the list. A truly sumptuous visual feast of entertainment and rather dark humour, in the Dahl tradition.
On Sunday, Maddy's having a day out in Derbyshire to watch her brothers sailing.
Then there's the possibility (incredibly slim chance of course), that Monday's blood test at home may herald a return to Jimmy's that same evening to prepare for the final cycle. (It's good to be able to say final, instead of fifth - although both are accurate descriptions).
More later...........
