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.

Summer '07 update

OK, it's been a while so there's quite a bit of news to catch up with.
Firstly, as you might expect from this time of year, Madeleine has enjoyed a couple of holidays this summer.
Early in the summer, she spent a week with Helen, Alex & Nicola, camping in Newquay. The rather average weather didn't dampen spirits and they had a great time, of course. A few weeks later, the family spent just 3 weeks in total, with 2 weeks in the Italian Lakes (L. Lugano) wih some fairly leisurely travelling via France and Switzerland each way. There are plenty of pics of both trips and these will be uploaded on the next update.
Meanwhile, GCSE's have been and gone. M has excelled herself beyond everyone's hopes and expectations (including her own) with very impressive results (5 A* and 6 A grades).
Everyone is more than pleased....;-)

She's now starting her A level programme in 3 sciences plus maths at Greenhead College in Huddersfield. First impressions are very positive.
More later....
P.S. Almost without noticing,....we're now past the second anniversary of the end of chemo. Time flies when you're busy.
