Update April 27th 2008

Hello All Hannah continues to do well on the oral chemo and is enjoying school and Brownies and the run up to her Birthday, she is determined for it not to be like last year and everything crossed it will be the opposite!! Just a blip to tell you off, Hannah is now fully recovered. The skin around Hannah's portacath seemed to have gone black and died and to cut a long drawn out story short, the surgeons decided to remove her port and put a new one in. This would be in a different location with a better blood supply to the surrounding skin. So last Thursday off she went to theatre and came back with it under her left arm which she not overly happy about and who can blame her?? She bravely took the plasters off herself and after a few days of being stiff and sore she was back to her old self! Next clinic appointment was due to be her birthday but as we are going no where near the place on that day we will probably go on the 7th! Whilst writing I wanted to inform you of the desperately sad news that Samantha Hughes lost her brave fight with NB on 15th April and is now with the Angels, we are sending love to her family. Thank you for reading and see you soon.
