Emily's Journey

Emily's journey started on Friday 8 January, 2010 where it was discovered that after some time of being unwell, her body has actually been fighting cancer. This site is dedicated to those who want to encourage her through this journey.

Day 285 – Tuesday 19 October, 2010

Filed under: Emily Update — Vanessa Palmer at 7:53 pm on Tuesday, October 19, 2010

Emily commenced her second round of antibody therapy yesterday morning.  She coped well for the first few hours, then the side effects kicked in and she had a very unsettled night.  She developed a worrisome rash and had an unrelenting cough that caused her to vomit.  Today wasn’t much better…

Emily was unrecognisable today.  I just about fell over when I walked into the room because of her temperature, rash and fluid overload.  The pictures say it all really.  The infusion had to be stopped for a few hours as her blood pressure became dangerously low.  It commenced again at 5pm.  Cruel to be kind.

Hey Em. Hang in there tiger, I bet your counting down the days till your treatment is over! I’m huemungous and look like a bloated heifer (lady cow). We are expecting a baby in December, but I look more like I’m having a cow or a horse!!! Thinking of you from across the ditch. Looking forward to seeing you, mum, dad and family all well in the new year! Big love from Krusty & Pog & one massive stomach! x x
