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.

Today Emily had surgery to have her nephrostomy tube replaced.    This was the fifth time since diagnosis that she has been put under general anesthetic.   Emily also began her fifth round of chemo today.

Hi Emily

You do not know us but we are your distant family in England. I have been talking to your aunty Chrissie on Facebook and she told us about what you have been going through.

Just wanted you to know that we are thinking of you and hoping you get better soon.

Hopefully we will come to NewZealand soon and it would be lovely to meet you. You are a very pretty and brave girl.

So take care. Love and best wishes. From Catherine and family xxx

Hi Emily

You might not know us, but we rent a house which your Grandma and Grandad own. Your Mummy and Daddy are also friends with my big brother, Darren (or some people call him “Nobby”). We are thinking of you and reading your blog every few days to see how you are doing.

We are so glad to hear the positive news about your test results from a few days ago. You’re a brave girl – just keep on doing what you’re doing! :)

We hope your chemo and other procedures went well today.

Take care,
Scott Marsden and Jenna Scott.
