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.

Nearly there

Maddy's finding this chemo cycle a bit tougher than the previous round, but still not as bad as the earlier cycles. She's sleeping quite a lot, but manages to get up for a bit at some point in the day. She's starting to appreciate the idea that she's nearly there now as she should be home within the next 3 to 5 days. Now that Derek's been evicted from BB, Maddy's less interested in the outcome, although the whole family agrees that they now want Eugene to win. Some of the smarter and more wholesome amongst you won't know of or care anything about the blessed reality show, Big Brother, but it's been somehow unavoidable for Maddy and her family as the show's duration has mirrored her treatment period to within a day or so......and there are enough interested teenagers, staff and TV sets on the ward to 'draw in' even the most recalcitrant.
Whatever, (as the yoof of today say) Maddy will finish her last bag of Cytarabine sometime on Monday and that will signal the end of the wretched, bleeping, drip trolley.
