Handbags (The sad, the bad and the ugly. Non-productive stuff here.)
Thank you for your kind post nana jacqui
My daughter won't get better, the disease she has is incurable. It's treated in a similar way to leukemia. The best outcome would be to get her into remission, but unfortunately the treatment hasn't worked on her, and they have been unable get her into remission despite their best efforts. The treatment itself has also caused some other serious conditions, so the outlook is quite grim.
We have got an appointment for her MRI now. It will be on 12 April. Apparently the machine at Ipswich is being updated, and 2 mobile machines have taken over in the interim. Unfortunately, they cannot accommodate a wheelchair user so we have to wait until the new machine is commissioned.
Her extension is being started in May, and we have everything crossed that there is no delay to that, as we think it will raise her spirits. She gets very depressed, which is understandable I think.
But it would be true to say we are hanging on with our fingertips.
