Hickman Line Coming Out!

After speaking to Amos on Tuesday it has been decided (due to Holly's very adamant stance!) that Holly's Hickman line can come out. Addenbrookes phoned today, it is coming out tomorrow!!!

This is her central line which was put in when she was first diagnosed in February. It gives immediate and constant access to a central vein for blood tests, blood products, drugs and chemo. It has, quite literally, been a life saver.

Holly is so excited that it is coming out and can't wait to be able to have a proper shower and go swimming.

I am finding this a quite emotional time. This brings it home that her treatment is nearly at an end. What a long way we have come, how amazingly Holly has battled this illness, how life has changed this year.
