Go into hospital for 8am.
Lot of questions and then wait. Apparently waiting for drugs to arrive.
Drugs arrive about to start - but the cysplatin is 70mg and the doctors prescription says 86mg. Queue a 2 hour wait while they sort paperwork.
1 hour of water infusion stuff, 2 hours or drug and 1 hour of more water stuff.
12 visits to loo to wee. Definitely no chance to nap!
Finished in there at 215.
Go to radio - scan bladder (not full enough yet) wait 15 minutes - scan again. All good to go. Zapping takes about 25 minutes, Apart from tingly pubes at the front nothing.
I feel well and I come home.

Have a chat with daughters and eat a banana and a slice of bread and go to bed. Can't sleep but rest.
