Thank you from Fely

Hi everybody,

Fely is at the hospital, she is very tired, and I’m not in Paris. So I’m going to try to write you a message and give you some news but it’s not easy for me in English !

First, thank you from Fely for all your messages for her birthday ! I forwarded them to Fely and she was very happy. Thank you for your support. It was a good day. Matt, my parents and me were with Fely.

But since Friday, she’s very tired. She went back to the hospital because with the last chemotherapy, her white blood cell and “blood bars” were very low, too low. She needed a blood transfusion and treatments. She had also nausea, fever…

Wednesday, she met the surgeon. She will have the surgery the 9 March. It will be a very big surgery, during one day and consisting in removing the tumors, 3 ribs and 3 half vertebras. It will be very painful. She will have a piece of titanium instead of vertebras.

So, Fely is not in very good spirits... It’s difficult and she has a lot of apprehension for the surgery.

I know, it’s not very good news, sorry… She needs of you and your support.

Bisous
Fely send you a lot of bisous !!!

News from Fely !!!

Hi everybody !

I hope that you are all well and thank you again for all your messages and support !
Because of internet issues (not easy to access for me as usual) my sister is once again the one in charge of putting online this message.

I'm at the reeducation center since the 12th of January but I go back to the hospital every two weeks for the chemotherapy for a few days.
My legs are moving but I cannot walk yet. Patience... patience...
I'm going back to the hospital the 6th of February for some heavy chemotherapy and I have the surgery around mid-March. Then I'll do more chemotherapy but I don't know for how long. It will depend on the tumor's tissues analysis. If the analysis shows that the treatment I have been taking was effective enough I should be done with chemo by July.

My family and Matt are great to keep me motivated and they surround me with great energy and love. Also, you should see my bedroom, it is filled with cookies, candies and other "food"... it is a good way to escape a little from the hospital cuisine... my mum cooks sometimes for me as well.

Oh, I almost forget to tell you some good news : the tumor reduced of almost 50% ! The treatment is really intense but at least it is working ! Also, the doctors told me that I should be able to walk again but we don't know how long it will take.

Sorry if I've been unable yet to reply individually to your messages but internet access at french hospitals is a long story.

I'm sending you lots of bisous !

Félicia
