Update 30th July 2013

Update posted by Emma Smith

Hello Backers and others,

Emma has had a fantastic day. She was in the hospital again today for a check on her blood counts, and they were holding up sufficiently that she did not need any transfusions. Her neutrophils showed a very slight move upwards, so we are hoping that Emma is passed her lowest point after the last round of chemo. She will be tested again on Thursday.

Shortly after getting home Emma was visited by her grandmother, two great uncles and a great aunt. We had a rather civlised (for us) tea in the back garden, and while the way chatting and catching up. It was a lovely four hours, and the physical improvement in Emma was easy to see after the afternoon progressed. She also made a good impression with one of the uncles who is also having his own cancer issues. Emma's outlook has always been positive, and had gotten on with the business of fighting the cancer in a matter of fact manner - it is impossible not to be impressed with her resolve.

Emma's improvement went through until her bedtime. Her temperature was down, at last, and she remained in good spirits.
