Ward 10T
Maddy's pleased to be back in the teenage unit for what is, hopefully, her last significant stay at Jimmy's, having spent much of July in the adjacent Ward 10 (mainly caring for younger children).
She's put her last bag of Methotrexate behind her now and has just 5 days of Cytarabine, one more IT and a couple of organ function tests ahead of her and then she's finished her treatment.
Maddy had her penultimate IT today without any problems other than a bit of backache afterwards. Her appetite has damped a bit, but her weight is far less a concern now, compared with three or four weeks ago. She's still getting up and around into the lounge, but it's rather quiet as most other patients are confined to bed for various reasons.
All in all, Maddy's coping really well.
