Well, I finished my 25 sessions of radiotherapy today. I also have 2/3 of my brachytherapy out of the way and only 4 more chemo sessions to go! It's been a busy week. I went in on sunday night to the Cancer Centre to get ready for Brachy the next day, then had radio and a MRI (this was completely out of the blue, noone had told me about it.

Saw the doctor today (did have to wait around a bit though, although my clever mummy packed us sandwiches!). He said not to worry, a little bleeding is normal and it might even just be the old period after all this time...very weird. WEll really, they don't…
Well, here is something I thought I'd never be writing about. My experiences as a teenage cancer patient. It's all very surreal.
I'm sorry if this a bit off, but I started my radiotherapy 3 days ago and i'm already shattered from it. As well as cramping and bleeding...I don't think thats meant to happen. It worries me alot, I hope it doesn't mean the tumour has returned. You see, so far I have had a complete…
