Tuesday 24th October
Sally was at home all day.
Had her injection done by MUM ( under supervision of community nurse )
Whatever was in the injection is good stuff, Sally almost back to normal today!
Later on today Uncle Jason, Auntie Donna, Alex and Samuel from Oxford came to visit.
Much tea was drunk and cake/cookie's eaten ( its too wet on its own! )
Kids played Minecraft ( I offered my iron pickaxe from the garage but they just laughed )
Sally has found the box of 'Foxes Biscuits'

Sally left early this morning to be at RMCH for injection,this needs to be done every morning for 10 days to boost the white blood cells.
Tomorrow's injection will be at home by MUM!
Sally is much better today. Can't believe the improvement!
Eaten pasta with cheese on at lunch and white fish, chip and beans for tea.
Must be getting better as she is getting louder and dancing round the kitchen!

Friday 20th
At 11:00 the chemo is finished. The lines to the pumps disconnected !
She is feeling very sick and has not eaten anything. Being sick when she stands up to go the the toilet.
Feeling very excited about going home, just waiting for prescription stuff to take home.
We walked over to the day care centre to get appointment for Monday, she said Dad I feel dizzy and she gave me a hug, then she collapsed! Luckily I had hold of her and she did not hit the floor!
We picked her up and carried her back to her bed and had 5 or 6 nurses round to look at her!
Blood pressure low (80's) but blood sugars were ok, so just rest and check again later.
17:50 blood pressure checked again and ok now ( over 100)
So we will try and go home again!

The Guides have made a string of flags with messages on for Sally
She spent ages reading each one in bed.
That evening Marcie and Family came to visit and her face just lit up when she saw her friend.
They had sent a tray of very yummy cakes.

Wednesday 18th October
The Chemo is starting to take effect, one of the types is bright red and makes her wee PINK!
She is starting to feel very sick and has been given 3 types of anti sick but this just made her feel worse.
All the fluids they are putting into her to protect the kidneys makes her wee lots, about every hour!
Even at night!
Also the pumps squeak all the time then BEEP when they have run out all night.

Intro to Sally
This is Sally
In March Sally hurt her back in a fall doing gymnastics.
She complained that her back hurt at school when leaning back
on the chairs, this pain came and went.
We had our holiday to Cornwall as usual and she had a few days of pain but we put it down to gymnastics on the beach, maybe a pulled
muscle?
Then in September after starting in year 6 Sally complained
her back was really sore.
One night she woke in the with severe pain in her back left side and it was travelling round to the front, we took Sally to Wigan A&E, she was checked over and given Antibiotics as they suspected a lung infection following an X-ray.

The full course was taken and she felt better but 3 days later on the Friday she came out of school in tears as her back really hurt!
We took her back to Wigan A&E and pushed for another X-ray, when this came back they said
there was a shadow on the left side and were concerned enough to arrange a CT scan following day, Sunday.
The CT scan was done we had to wait as the specalist had to look at a 'mass' that showed up on the scan.
A very anxious time and we were given the devastating news something was there on the inside on the ribs growing into the lung space.
We were then referred to Manchester Children's Hospital Ward 84........Oncology!!
Sally was admitted on Tuesday 3rd October. Looking around the ward & seeing the other children reality kicked in. Sally was the only one with hair!!
We were told that they would need to do a biopsy, take a bone marrow sample from her hip. and install a hickman line

A week later, whilst Sally was on PGL with school, we were given the results by DR Brennen. Sally had Ewings Sarcoma ( a rare child bone cancer )
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ewing%27s_sarcoma
This can be fixed with chemotherapy and surgery and the prognosis is good.
