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.

Sunday 9th March 2008

Well, I had my chemo last Tuesday and then my asparagus and mayonnaise on Wednesday then I was sick, sick, sick until Friday afternoon so no school for me! Luckily I felt much better by Saturday morning so I managed to go riding. Daddy took me this week because of Emily's choir competition and we went to the pub for lunch after riding but then Daddy wanted to watch Rugby all afternoon so I was a bit bored!
We had fun today though, I felt much much better and we went to the Fox and whatsit (we can never remember the name) in Knossington for lunch with Granny and Papa. I really love the beef they do there and huge yorkshire puddings and great roasties. I ate loads which was good because I haven't felt much like eating this week (don't tell Katie though because she will just put another nose tube in). I made two new friends Millie and Amelia and we played challenges on the monkey bars in the garden.
This week I have a blood test at home on Wednesday then a general anaesthetic on Thursday for IT MTX (into my spine), then IV MTX and some more Vincristine on Friday so another yuk week. Only one more dose of IV MTX and Vincristine after that though, the day before my birthday so I will be poorly then!!!!!
By the way, Emily's choir went through to the next round of the Choir of the Year competition so Well Done Stoneygate!!!

Morning Mima!
Hope yu're feeling OK today - I wonder if you're at school - hope so so you can say well done to all the singers! The rugby was boring for everyone - was Daddy cross afterwards? I have to admit I'm a bit jealous of all your pub lunches - sounds great to me!! I hope your week goes OK - I'll be thinking of you and hope the GA doesn't make you feel too poorly. All the boys send their love, love Jemma Ef xxx
