Chemo Round 6...

We arrived early Monday mornng and outpatients was empty!

After passing my blood test it was time to move in for 2 days.

The play staff always find me something to do. This time I did a photo frame.

Dad came to the hospital as a surprise visit on the way back from work. 

I soon started to feel quite tired but luckily I wasn't sick this time. 

In the morning, Milly came to spend the day at the hospital with me. 

We spent the afternoon sorting out all my beads of courage. (I now have over 200 beads!)

By 8pm I was all done!

Ward 84 Party...

Every year Ward 84 have an annual party. It is held at Victoria Baths in Manchester. Dad volunteered to do candyfloss there. There was a main hall with a stage and a DJ. 500 people attended the party this year and many walked away with raffle prizes such as a 50" TV!!! It was a fantastic event and I will definately be going next year!

Leavers Week...

This week I managed to get to school everyday.


Tuesday 17th July

Today my class went bowling at Middlebrook. I managed to do a full day and really enjoyed it.

Friday 20th July

My last day at Primary School...

This morning I had my leavers assembly. Today I managed to do another full day at school.

And at 3:30pm I walked out for the last time...

Strength and resilience award...

I was nominated for an award at the Chorley Schools Sports Partnership Awards evening. This was at Chorley Town Hall.

I was given a special award for Strength and Resilience. 

When I went up on stage I got a standing ovation! A lot of people had tears in their eyes.

 This is what I got the award for...

This year we have a special award for a year 6 pupil from Anderton CP. 

Sally Cornes. Sally became ill in September last year and has spent much of the year undergoing treatment at Manchester children’s hospital and also in Germany. This has not stopped Sally doing what she loves and that’s to dance. Not only did she still perform in the annual panto in Adlington at Christmas but she has continued to attend school as often as she’s been able to and for the second year running be part of our academy. She even made her consultant change her treatment date so she could perform at the school games and attend her y7 induction day at her new high school. Even when Sally has been unable to attend rehearsals she has caught up by asking a friend to teach her what she’s missed and always returns knowing exactly what she should be doing. Sally has fought and won her battle and is now just in the mop up stages of her treatment. She’s an absolute inspiration to everyone who meets her and we are all so proud of her. 

We’d like Sally to except a special award for strength and resilience.

Chemo round 5

This morning we went to the hospital had a thumb prick and luckily I passed this time! I only started chemo at 5pm as the pharmacy lost my prescription for the antisickness! During the night I was sick several times but by morning I felt a bit better. Chemo round 5 was all finished at 9pm Tuesday.

Now there are only 3 more left until the end!!!
I can't wait!!!

Very busy week.....

Tuesday  3rd July

Today I danced at the Lancashire School Games at Stanley Park in Blackpool. Here is a video of me dancing.

Wednesday  4th

As I am starting Parklands High School in September, today was my Induction Day. I did a full day there and I really enjoyed it. I can't wait to start in September! Before I went I had a big decision to make..... wig or beanie hat? Eventually, I decided to just wear my beanie hat as in September I will have to take my wig off anyway for PE and why pretend to be somebody I'm not?

I was very tired after a full day but no time to stop as I had to go straight to the hospital for a blood test for chemo. After a blood test we went straight home because I have Guides on a Wednesday evening.


Thursday  5th

This morning we had a phone call informing us that I had failed my blood test so no chemo this week, try again on Monday.


Friday  6th

This morning I woke up with a headache and a temperature of 37.4. Luckily it wasn't high enough to be classed as an infection. Throughout the day I felt tired, had a headache and my temperature kept going up and down. At one point it got to 37.6! If it gets to 38 I have to get admitted into hospital! The problem was it was my school play that nignt so I had to let school know if I was well enough to do it or not. In the end I had some paracetamol and did the play. Afterwards I was glad I took part.


Saturday  7th

Today it was Adlington Carnival. As I was still really tired I did it in my wheel chair. I still really enjoyed doing it though. I did it with Guides and the theme for us was "jobs women couldn't do 100 years ago" so I dressed as someone from the army.
