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.

Sorry it's been so long....

...but everything's just fine with Maddy.
Since the last blog entry, Maddy has had a routine heart scan and a 3-monthly check up at Jimmy's and all is well. She feels fine and is in very good health.
Apart from that, she is really busy at school, working as hard as ever in the run-up to GCSE's. She did really well in the mock exams just before Christmas and (this is really excellent !) despite everything, still managed to sit her GCSE Maths six months early, in November, and come out with an A grade.
Apart from that, she's also been very involved in the Bar Mock Trials run by the Citizenship Foundation. Calder High entered the Yorkshire regional heats in Leeds....and won ! Maddy was a defence lawyer and now goes on to the the national final in Cardiff in March.

Here's a link to the site

And this is the entry on the school's own website.

Ok, that's caught up for now - more later, hopefully without such a long pause between postings .... ;->
