Radiotherapy # 16, 17 to go

We are nearly half way, at that point where the plus is less than the minus.  The point on your mortgage where you are paying more capital than interest.  A certain relief but still, a mountain to climb and they tell me the second half is the worst.  We'll see.  The manipulators were kind, as usual and the sugary mint tea from the Ligue Contre le Cancer was very welcome.

I went to work after dropping off mil at the train station and it was quite tiring at work - this class is not difficult just hard to get into an animated state so I find myself walking around a lot, moving, being enthusiastic which took it out of me today.

After picking the children up from school I lay down under my lovely blanket and slept for 90 minutes.  I was shattered.

Alexandra's Mum came round tonight and dropped off a chicken dinner for tomorrow and a huge bag of satsumas - yummy and just what I'll be needing tomorrow to save cooking; the tiredness is catching up on me.

We shared a litle glass of champagne as we were celebrating dh's personal success at work which he found out about yesterday; he achieved it with no thanks to my help during the last couple of months for sure.  Well done him and great to get some good news for a change.

I'm afraid my breast has been really hurting today - very painful pangs inside some making me really start in pain and the skin has been itchy and the scar under my arm has been very painful and tugging.  Finally this evening I realised the skin on the breast has turned red and is sore and is itchy as I write.  I'm really disappointed now we are exactly half way and the burns are coming, despite all the care I've taken to try to avoid it - washing before with the right soap, taking the homeopathic medcine and applying the cream painstakingly every night.  Grrr.  it's a bit depressing that I have to face the same again but with the pain and burning this time, it will be a very high mountain to climb:-(

Anyway here's a photo of the satsumas to cheer up this post.
