Here we go again...

On the 10th of June 2002, Kay was diagnosed with leukemia (ALL) at the age of 22 months. After 109 weeks of treatment and another three years of monitoring she was declared officially cured on 2007. Since the completion of her treatment she has been perfectly fit and healthy.

A few weeks ago she started to complain of headaches. We had her eyes tested, no problems found. However the headaches continued. This week she started to lose her appetite. So on Wednesday 16th October Marion took her to the doctor, who ran some blood tests. The results of the blood tests indicated leukemia. We were immediately sent to the Academic Hospital of Nijmegen, the local specialist cancer treatment centre. Kay was admitted on the spot and treatment and testing began immediately.

Needless to say that we are all extremely shocked by this sudden turn of events. Kay has taken it well. In fact she's dealing with it better than Marion or I.

The purpose of this blog is to keep everyone up to date with Kay's progress and related news. We will try to update the blog as often as possible and we encourage our friends to add their comments. Let's all keep our fingers crossed for Kay and the future.

Kay's Daddy.
