My appointments are tomorrow and Thursday so it's not as if I have long to wait. But there's a gap between the introductory appointment at the Christie and then starting radio/chemo and it's playing on my mind.
I know they have to plan my treatment with the benefit of the scans. I know they can't just rush into it.
And yet......
Part of me wants treatment to begin. Now I know the Drittsekk is within, I want it GONE. The sooner the better.
This isn't a whinge about the medical treatment I've had so far. In fairness that's been superb and long may it continue.
And I know the radio/chemo will be tough - I've briefed A and Mum that if I get a bit low, they just have to remind me that it's making me well, and that'll snap me out of it.
I just want to get on with it!!!!

PS - despite feeling like that, it's still a 9 out of 10 day. The Big Boss at work had a chat with me today and said he was impressed with my tenacity and my focus on achieving goals (in a work perspective) - and on that performance, if anyone could beat it, it would be me!
