HELLO EVERYONE!!!
We had a fab time in Barbados and the sunshine, sand and sea made us all feel so much better. Before we went, my face was really really sore and the skin was soooo dry, it was driving me mad but after a week in Barbados it was so much better. I used a cream called Vitamin E gel by Jo Malone (soooo soooo expensive) but it works so well it is worth every penny (mummy says!) It is all because my immune system is starting to work again and that affects your skin apparently. (I know Ruby's face is sore at the moment, so try this cream, it works wonders - much better than the ½% hydorcortisone the docs gave me).I had my first clinic appointment since my treatement finished when we came back from Barbados and we were quite worried. While we were on holiday I had started to get quite tired and had spotted some bruises again so I was worried it was the Leukaemia coming back. Mummy and Daddy were very worried too and so when I went to clinic I had a blood test - but don't forget, I dont have a port any more so I had to have a needle stuck in to my arm. Actually it didnt really hurt! Anyway, the results showed that I was fine and had obviously just been enjoying the swimming and running around too much!
My next appointment is on Wednesday and so far, I have been feeling great. I have been to school every day, for the whole day (apart from one afternoon when I felt sick) so I am really proud of myself. My tummy is still not behaving too well, so I have a few problems there but I can manage that.
I took the entrance exam for a new school a couple of weeks ago. I was really scared because I have missed so much school but guess what..................................I got in, they want me!!! So that means that in September, Emily and I will be at the same school again, Yippeeeeee!!!
I just want to say to anyone who reads my blog who has leukaemia now, it really is ok..............I know cos I have done it.
I will write again when I have some news!
Have fun everyone
Love Mima xxx
