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.

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
