One year of Quinn's Cancer  4 February 2025

Posted by: Brynn Armstrong

Hi everyone, on February 8th we will reach exactly ONE YEAR since Quinn was diagnosed with Leukaemia. At just 16 months old when cancer entered our life, the past year has seen her grow so much into the beautiful little girl we know. Despite the extraordinary challenges and hardship this year has brought, she has handled it so much better than we could ever imagine.

Over the past year, we have:

Spent 118 nights in hospital

Had 161 days with chemo (Sometimes 4× a day)

Received 34 blood transfusions and 24 lumbar punctures

Taken 17 unplanned urgent trips to hospital

And received 1308 beads of courage!

We hoped to share this update with how well she has been doing, her blood counts had been great, her hair is growing back, she's putting on weight again, but unfortunately we were admitted to hospital 12 days ago with an infection in her line. She is on antibiotics for a serious infection and has meant last week she had to undergo surgery to have her port removed from her chest, and a PICC line put in her arm. In a month she will have another surgery to get a new port put into her chest once the infection is all gone. It's been one of the hardest stays so far, but she's doing incredibly, all things considered, and we are hanging in there!

This past year has been the most challenging yet for all of us, and we are so grateful for all of your support. We couldn't have gotten this far without you all, and from the bottom of our hearts, thank you!

Much love, Jimmy, Brynn, Quinn 💚
