Round 2

Ellen has recovered from her first set of chemotherapy and came home on Monday for a well deserved week away from hospital. She has been on fine form and we received good news on Thursday that the initial chemo has worked and she is now in remission (ie no sign of leukaemia cells). Unfortunately, given the high risk of recurrence, she needs further intensive treatment which involves another round of chemo followed by a bone marrow transplant. We are heading back to hospital for round 2 of chemo tomorrow and, all being well, expect to be there for 5-6 weeks before Ellen is well enough to come home again.
