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.

ONLY 16 DAYS TO GO UNTIL I FINISH TREATMENT!!!

We are all getting very excited and counting down the days now until I finish treatment for Leukaemia. I have had my last lumbar puncture for ITMTX, my last vin and christine was last Wednesday. I am finishing my last steroids tonight and then it will just be a final lumbar puncture and bone marrow aspirate on November 3rd with daily chemo, weekly chemo and antibiotics every weekend up until then.

I have to tell you though that I have been back in to hospital for a couple of days because I had another seizure at school on Thursday two weeks ago. The Neurologist has decided to put me on some anti-seizure tablets now and I have to have them for 2 years!!!!!!(They called it epilepsy) I don't mind though if it means I don't have any more seizures. The last one really frightened me and I was at school, so even worse.
I am now counting down every day and we are going out for lunch today and I am really excited. I am going to ring Daddy at 12.00 because that is the time we should be meeting him at the restuarant.
P.S just because I have a name for all my seizures it doesn't mean that you should treat me any differently than before I was diagnosed with epilepsy. I am still just the same old Mima and you shouldn't be scared of me.
love mima xxx
