Day 235 – Monday 30 August, 2010
Emily and her family have almost recovered from the swine flu. Em was able to use tamiflu so has recovered much quicker than the rest of the family. Coming up this week are a number of tests prior to starting the antibody therapy. Today she had a heart scan, to check her heart is strong enough for the next treatment, and was suppose to have a CT scan. This scan has been postponed to Wednesday due to not being able to have it within 5 days of radiation. Emily is very anxious as she doesn’t like the luer they put in to inject the dye before the scan. Tuesday is bone marrow testing. This marrow will be sent to the United States.
It has been a hectic couple of weeks but thankfully Emily didn’t get this flu while she was on chemotherapy. She would have struggled to fight it as she had no immunity.
On a more ‘6 almost 7 year old’ note Emily has lost 3 teeth this week.
