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 277 – Monday 11 October, 2010

Filed under: Emily Update — Vanessa Palmer at 4:44 pm on Monday, October 11, 2010


Emily has enjoyed some time with family and friends throughout the holidays. Last week she went to a two day drama course with her cousin Jaymee and performed as a bird in a Little Red Riding Hood play.  Kath said, “she was cute and confident”.

This week Emily is back in hospital.  A 96 hour continuous infusion of Interleukin-2 began today.  This infusion stimulates a mass production of white blood cells in order to help the antibody therapy work to its full potential.  Round two of antibody therapy starts next Monday.

That photo was perfect to see on such a brilliant sunny day! You have an amazing smile and it reminds me of you Mum!

We hope this round of treatment is going smoothly, and every day we send our love and strength to you all.

Always in our thoughts

Hi Emily and family

I haven’t posted anything for a while, but that doesn’t mean to say that we are not thinking about you and hoping your treatments are successful. I am so happy that you enjoyed your holidays…we went to Alexandra for two weeks – I worked at Clyde Powerstation, and Rosie and Andy stayed with their Grandparents. Rosie is a drama queen as well – she goes to Helen O’Grady classes at Cotswold. Her teacher, Kate is mad (but in a good way). They are preparing for their concert at the end of the term. Perhaps you and your mum or dad could go?

Take care
