Update....By Saskia

This week has been quite an event full week.
On Tuesday 7th of October we went on an adventure hike in the Mt. Lofty Ranges. Marcel, Arjen, and Pyrene were so enthusiastic about the hike that they were far ahead of us while me and the adults stayed behind slowly making our way to the bottom. One quarter through the hike and my mum and I had already been puffing and huffing. We called my fellow siblings so we could turn back. They were quite upset to turn back but in the end they were out of sight going back up the hill. I think I did quite well for a person that hasn't exercised in a very long time. My father had to physically push me up the hill. We asked my dad to bring the car down so we could get picked up instead of walking another 400 meters. My father drove us down the highway to see the bottom were the waterfall was and let me tell you it was mesmerizing.

I'm back in the hospital to spend another five days laying in bed having medicine and drugs flowing into my body. Yay! :(
I had my picc line done shortly after I arrived and I was back in bed.
I love the nurses and doctors and everyone in the hospital. Just the feeling of not being at home makes me angry, sad and frustrated. No matter how much people decorate the hospital I still wont get the terrible memory's out of my head. I can't get the fact out of my head that I came here heard that I had cancer and then my life was upside down.
Alright enough of the sad part of my life. I can't believe that the treatment ends on the 16th of January, that is so cool because its one day after my birthday! It's probably the best gift I could wish for!
