Off to Northampton General for the first time tomorrow for planning in advance of radiotherapy starting in just under three weeks time. I think it should all be straight forward: CT scan (no barium this time I'm told!), and marker tattoos to help make sure I am in the same position each time I'm zapped for the radiotherapy.
B will be going with me, even though I said I wasn't sure if he'd find himself twiddling his thumbs and I could probably manage. Actually it will be good to have the company of course, and I'm sure I will appreciate his help finding exactly where to go/park, etc for the first time.
P now knows that there is something going on. I had been due to collect her from school tomorrow, but I've arranged for her to go home with a neighbour. I explained in very simple terms a small part of the story, That is enough for now, and gradually she will ask more questions and I can say more about how it might affect our summer (and beyond). She still doesn't know she will miss Holiday School, but at least she is not at all worried about me at the moment as I am well enough to continue with all usual activities for now.
