I am very well and have been for a little while now. I had my blood test and Dr Donald tickled my tummy and my knees and ankles yesterday (that is what he has to do to check that everything is ok) and he said because I giggled alot that he thought I was very bright and cheerful. My blood results were good too so that meant that I could have the full dose of IV MTX and some Vincristine today. I don't mind, but it does make me really really sick. I take lots of anti-sickness tablets but they make you constipated, so then I take tablets for that too - yuk, yuk, yuk. I saw my friends in hospital today and we played a finding game on the computer together. We are also making easter bonnets because we have an easter party on the Ward very soon. My friend Georgia is in hospital at the moment and she didn't look very well at all. She has nearly finished her treatment but her body has decided it doesn't want anymore vincristine already and her kidneys have stopped working properly. Get better soon Georgia.Did I tell you I was doing a drama exam? Well I took the exam on Saturday and had to stand up in front of a man and say poem called A Smile by Jez Alborough. Do you know, I passed with distinction. Not many people are surprised by that because they think I am a bit of a drama queen!
Asparagus and Mayonnaise in my leg muscle tomorrow at about 10 o'clock, so if you hear any very loud screaming, you will know what it is all about.
Emily and her senior choir are off to Warwick this weekend to take part in the Radio 3 choir competition so we are all going there on Saturday. Good Luck Stoneygate!!!

I just received pictures of the chickens and Digby.What a brilliant dog Digby is. In the picture he looks as though he is having a conversation with the chickens. Perhaps he was telling them to behave.
Hope you are doing well with the treatment.
Lots of Love
Sue
Hola Mima
I hope this reaches you, I thought I would have another go sending message. Just received photos. of Digby inspecting the 3 hens. What a good boy he is not to chase them. I had a dog called Cider that go into a chicken run and a couple of hens had a heart attack with the excitement. See you in Sept.
Love you
Rita

Hi Mima,
I feel so sorry for you and what you have to go through. My brother has Leukemia aswell so I feel very sorry for him! Anyways I was gonna ask how are you? Ive never heard of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia before and I hope to read up on it!
My brother has Vincristine every Month now as he is on his Maintenance and It does not like him (ha!) I think it's great that you have set up your own website! It helps to hear other people going through things that other people are. I'll catch up soon!
