Hi @SophieMae

Good to hear from you with an update. My daughter was in for 7 weeks after first round. I remember asking the doctors every day if there was any sign of neutrophils. It was devastating to be told no and then it happened. I remember us bouncing around the room when the bloods showed 0.1!

I got so concerned about my daughter’s mental health/wellbeing that I negotiated with the team a short trip outside whilst waiting to go home. Perhaps you could do the same? We got a wheelchair and headed out at the weekend when the hospital was quieter. We went to Costa for a treat and sat in hospital garden. It felt like the best! It also gave Danae some confidence that she would be okay in the ‘outside’ world again.

Anyway, not long now…. Take good care of yourselves and we will look forward to an update once you are home (if you have time :blush:)

Sending every good wish :two_hearts:
