Top marks

Maddy and her parents were at Jimmy's again for a consultation on Friday, following M's ultrasound scan on Wednesday. On the 'return to school' theme, the memorable feedback was "Top Marks"...it really was as positive as it could be. As far as they can tell, the radiologist and consultant oncologists all believe that Maddy's body has repaired any damage caused by the lymphoma and all her internal organs look just as they should do. It's as if the tumour has just 'melted away' or never even been there.
There may be some issues, but if so, they're not evident from the scan results and they may not become apparent for a decade or two.
Everyone's very pleased and looking forward to the ongoing return to normality.
This is supposed to include a return to school around this time of year.
Ironically though, electrical contractors have been working at Calder High over the summer and are running late, so that the return has been postponed by a few days (and counting).
Bizarrely, for this one occassion only, Maddy is actually upset about having to endure an enfored extension to the summer holiday. It's suspected that she may be in a rather small minority.
There's nothing now until 30 Sept, when Maddy has another routine check-up.
