Hi Everyone

My name is Jemima but everyone calls me Mima. I was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia on 13th June 2007 and had to spend just over 3 weeks in hospital. I have set up this blog so that I can keep in touch with my friends and keep you up to date with what I am doing.

WE DID IT!!! - THANKS TO ALL OF YOU WHO HAVE SUPPORTED JEMIMA INVITES OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS, WE HAVE NOW MANAGED TO BEGIN THE RESEARCH WHICH PROFESSOR MARTIN DYER WAS SO DESPERATE TO DO.

Last Vincristine for this block of treatment
I had the last Vin and Christine today and just have to wait until my blood results are good enough to start the next block of treatment.
I have been to school every day this week and I have been eating loads too so feel really good.
After riding on Saturday I am going to my friend lily's big sister's birthday party and there is going to be a karaoke thingy - I can't wait.......what shall I sing? My friend Alex's mum (from hospital) has been so kind and given me some very trendy tops so I am going to wear one of those for the party!!!
I saw my friend Asma in hospital today and she has finished her treatment now and had her hickman line taken out. She is so lucky, all her hair is growing back and she looks so well. My hair has all gone and my eyebrows so I think I look like an alien! I really want my hair to come back but only if it is going to stay and grow really long and blonde. I can't be bothered if it is going to fall out again. Asma and I were planning a weekend when she can come and stay and we are going to ride together because she loves ponies too.
Georgia was in hospital today too and her mum was knitting a really cool teddy. George is nearly at the end of her treatment but is not feeling too good so lots of get well wishes to you.
I am soooooooo tired, night night!

Hi Mima,
So glad to read that you are feeling well at the moment.
It sounds as though you have got a fun weekend coming up, hopefully you wil be riding tomorrow morning too. Sorry to hear that you favourite pony has now left the stables but I am sure you will find another lovely one. Hannah is already getting mad into ponies and gets really excited when she is in the car and sees one on the side of the road. She will have to start riding one day, not yet though!!
Have a lovely weekend and have lots of fun at the party.

CRIKEY MIMA, YOU'VE WROTE ALOT ON YOUR BLOG THIS TIME! IT WOULD TAKE ME ABOUT A DAY TO WRITE AS MUCH AS THAT!GLAD YOU'VE FELT WELL ENOUGH TO GO TO SCHOOL EVERY DAY THIS WEEK,HOPE YOU HAVN'T HAD TOO MUCH HOMEWORK TO DO?
I'M SURE YOU CAN'T WAIT UNTIL YOUR HAIR GROWS BACK FOR GOOD BUT JUST REMEMBER MIMA...IT'S THE PERSON ON THE INSIDE THAT COUNTS, NO MATTER WHATS ON THE OUTSIDE, AND JUST BECAUSE YOU HAVN'T GOT ANY HAIR OR EYEBROWS DOESN'T CHANGE THE LOVELY PERSON YOU ARE UNDERNEATH!!
HAVE A GREAT TIME AT LILY'S SISTERS BIRTHDAY PARTY, I'M SURE YOU WILL, AND LET US KNOW WHAT YOU DECIDE TO SING, MAYBE "SIMPLY THE BEST" BY TINA TURNER??
TAKE CARE MIMA

so glad you are feeling better and have managed so much school.The kareoke thingy sounds like fun but I don't think I would dare sing if I did it would probably rain for a week.
Don't worry about the hair when it grows back when you are completely better it will most likely be prettier and thicker than it was.
Lots of love
Sue

Hi Mima,

Hope you are having a good week. I have been busy helping Auntie Nic Nocs to organise a party to raise some money to make you better, i went to the flower shop with Debbie and got 150 tulips! they are so beautiful, pity I can't keep them all as they would make my house very beautiful.
Thinking of you lots.
