Hi all,
Went to see oncologist today about starting radiotherapy. Got to have 20 sessions starting 26th May, my husbands birthday lol, and 3 days after mine. Hopefuly all treatment will be finished on the 22nd June just in time for our two week holiday on the 10th July. Don't know what I expected to happen today, but didn't expect to be tatooed and that hurt. After going through chemo didn't think I could be such a baby but I flinched. Dr said that the only side affects I might get are reddness, soreness and tiredness, hope that is all. So happy that the finishing line is so near and I can start to recover properly just in time for the summer months. Bad part is then I need to think about returning to work, decided to go part time as my job is too stressful to do it full time again, also going through this as made me realise what really is important. It deffinatley isn't stressing over completing students who really don't give a damn, then worrying about targets, and getting emails from head office about things when you are on the motorway and they want the stuff 5 mins ago. The important things are me and my family.
This journey in parts have been tough but the end is near I can see the light.
Love and hugs Amanda xx
