Clockwork

Kezia was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia on the 21st of May 2006.

Her treatment protocol (UKALL 2003) predicts 118 weeks of treatment. Equals 2 years and 14 weeks = 2 years 3 and a ½ months.

Two years and three and a half months will therefore come to an end on the 5th October. She will go off-treatment around 20 October.

Given a bout of chickenpox and a couple of other “minor” infections, finishing treatment only two weeks behind the protocol schedule is truly a wonder of modern science.
