Radiotherapy # 15, 18 to go

Nearly half way!  Again, it was longer today although I was seen immediately as they took a picture to check the area being treated.  There were 4 people buzzing aroung me in the room which was weird and one manipulator did pick up that I was uncomfortable when I lay down.

I was very dizzy with my head turning like I'd drunk a couple bottles of wine.  I've been having dizzy spells like this for about a week now so I'll speak to the doctor about them.  I'm not sure it's related to the radiotherapy.

Also, it was strangely painful when during the treatment of my left side (I get treated on both sides) as the rays hit my skin today.  I wonder if the burns are coming....Anyway it's done for today.  mil came with me and seemed to cope ok with being in an oncology department (her husband died of cancer 5 years ago).  I wasn't sure she'd be ok but she was.

'Manda the fox came round with a lovely meal and chocolates and pastries which were gobbled up by my kids at gôuter time, and we had a good chat, it helped, really, to see her and just chat about normal things.

Things I'm grateful for today:

Spagetti with honey chicken, homemade pastries and chocolates (but I think that's something my children are more grateful for, i'm gonna fight for those chocs! see photo)

Chatting and two lovely cards that arrived this morning, one pretty Xmas card with cinema tickets in - we all want to go and see Amazonia so that will be great.  Thank you Hammanvirgin!  And for the funny, spotty cute dog too, thank you Madame H!

And lastly and not leastly, cocktails with friends at night:-))
