Friday 10th November 2006 After a year of peace, Christian had a Bone Scan on Wednesday because he has been having a sore knee. It appears that there is a “an area of increased uptake on the Lower Femur of the left knee”. The most likely reason is that the same cancer he had has…
All is good in the Blandford household at the moment, Christian has become a dancer…
Sunday 23rd October Christian had his last chemo three weeks ago. He got a temperature on Thursday evening when he was still neutropenic from the chemotherapy. We took him into St George’s and he has spent the weekend in and out, getting regular intravenous antibiotics. The doctors think that it is probably viral and will…
Christian has been very well recently, hence the lack of updates. His last chemotherapy is scheduled in less than two weeks, which is an important milestone that we’ve been looking forward to. I have finally collected all the sponsorship money at the final amount raised is over £47,000. Thanks very much to all of you for…

Claudia took him to the Royal Marsden where they started him on antibiotics and then brought him to St George’s where I am…
First things first, Christian has been pretty well recently hence the lack of updates. His hair is growing back a bit and his speech is coming on very well. In true Blandford/Parish style, it is now tricky to keep him quiet. Yesterday was the 10km run that I have been talking about. Imanaged to drag…
