Update on Chloe
5 February 2026
Monday Chloe went in for a procedure to have a bone marrow biopsy taken, a lumbar puncture and her port put in for treatments.
While under she also had chemo injected directly into her spinal fluid in case it had spread there.
Prior to Chloes procedure she received a platelet transfusion also.
From this her bone marrow came back confirming her diagnosis with no more surprises and her lumbar puncture was clear so the Cancer hadn't spread to her spinal fluid, was so nice getting some good news!
In the afternoon of Monday Chloe had her first chemo treatment, from this she has done amazing and is tolerating the treatment really well so far.
Today she starts a steroid as part of her ongoing treatment so hopefully she tolerates that well too, she also had a blood transfusion as her hemoglobin (red blood cells) got a bit low.
However we were given positive news today that her white blood cells have come down substantially as they were really high, even for her diagnosis. Her fluids are also going to be reduced over the next few days and her blood tests are now going to be dropped to twice daily indicating we are on track to be able to move from the hospital to our accommodation at Ronald Mcdonald house.
We have been so fortunate with the amazing doctors and nurses we have seen over this whole process.
Overall everything is heading in the right direction and the team at starship have been amazing.
We are blown away by everyones generous donations, thank you so much!
