last day of term Mr Jopson and the school council visit

I am still neutropenic and not allowed out and about so it was great to have a visit at home from               Mr Jopson,Mr Harris and Finn and Hannah from the school council.We were blown away with the gifts that they brought us in,two HUGE baskets of groceries,an awesome surprise from Erewhon station,thanks Mrs Thomas for organising that! and the gift and card from the school council. You guys at p.n.i.n.s have been awesome to me! Thanks for everything you have done, even my kitten is happy she has taken over the bins that the food came in and she now claims them as her bed!

neutropenic

After my day 29 treatment up in Auckland i became neutropenic.

It means that my white blood cells have dropped to a level that increases my risk of infection.

because of this people who are sick or carrying a bug around are not allowed to come visit me at all.

they also have to sanitise their hands before they come into the house.

Because i cant be around people who are sick i cant take the risk of going anywhere with big groups of people.

i am also on a neutropenic diet which means everything that is grown above and below the ground have to be peeled or cooked at a high temperature because of the bacteria that can grow on the vegetables/fruits.

thank god lollies aren't grown below or above the ground!!!!!!!!

The Week just gone...

Last week has been a bit tricky with me being in and out of hospital.
After my soccer final, which we lost, I ended up with a fever and got admitted to PN hospital for 4 nights. Then on Wednesday I went to Starship for one night.

Now I am home for a while.

Well Done

Well done Room 12. You have won we will send your reward soon.....

starship on day 29

yesterday i went to starship to have some more chemotherapy and a chest xray to see if my tumour had shrunken.
The results from my xray showed that my tumour had shrunken from 8cm by 6cm  to 6.8cm by 4.3cm.
I had 3 types of chemotherapy bleomycn,vinblastine and doxorubicin, i was sitting on the drip for only 1 hour plugged into my port which wasn't very long. The doctor also told me that i will have to wear a medical alert bracelet because one of my chemotherapy i am having can affect my lung functioning (this means i can not be given full oxygen if i need it). later on that day i started vomiting and i had a really bad headache,i went back to the hospital to have some medicine to stop me feeling sick i left later on the night back to stay with my cousins.

my diet

the things that i am not allowed to eat/drink are
. i am not allowed to touch banana skins but i can eat them
. I'm  not allowed to eat Vegemite or Marmite
