    everything went so well yesterday....

    The staff at rosemere were the best...they kept me informed and relaxed through it all...

    MRI at 8am.....then  measured up and a face mould and cushion  made.....it really was like having a facial.

    went home for a couple of hours...soon as i got back the staff were there to tell me what happens next....

    4pm they started......the mask was a bit tight to start with but after breathing…

  • Finally...some time to just sit and think..about myself....(for a change)............

    I'm having stereotactic radiation therapy tomorrow.....to blast the brain tumour...

    I've read up about the actual procedure and possible side effects....but what i haven't really had chance to think about...( and definately not  talk about) is that I'm scared....and worried....

    I keep seeing pictures of '' one flew over the cuckoo's nest''...............!

    I'll be glad to get rid of…

    i was filing my nails while waiting....she told me to stop or they would break........

    she rings my doctor and district…

    Which is not a good idea at the moment...cos if I cry, I can't breathe also....!! bloody lungs...

     

    Just a couple more days and I get the permanent drain in....so hopefully, that taste from hell in my mouth wll go......and i can start eating normal again.

    weighed myself yesterday and i'm just about holding onto 7 stone...so not bad I suppose.

    Little and often seems to be the way to do it, I have those fortisip…
