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.

THE BEST NEWS WE HAVE HAD IN 2½ YEARS
Well, we were meant to wait until my appointment with Dr Madi next Wednesday but Mummy and Daddy couldn't wait any longer so Mummy phoned the ward today to get the results from my end of treatment bone marrow aspirate.
The results were fantastic - I am in complete remission and there was no sign of ALL in my bone marrow at all!!!
We have been dancing around the kitchen and everyone is crying!!! What a mess!!! I felt a bit weird when everyone was crying apart from me, I thought everyone should be happy but apparently they are!!
Night night
Love Mima x

Dear Mima, Your news is fantastic, and having read your blog before starting my working day, every day, today my heart is singing. Champagne has been on ice for a while and the cork will be released tonight. You are very brave and inspirational. You are surrounded by the most loving and kind family and friends anyone could ever dream of. I send you my love and will keep reading about you. I will still remember you in my prayers and all who love and cherish you. YIPEEEEEEEEEEE

Hello. I'm a simple man with a low salary. I need money to buy an apartment. You do charity. You buy my coin. " www.rus-col.blogspot.com ". I will be grateful. You make a good deed. Thank You.
