Had a lovely birthday this week, went off to St. Thomas' for my first meeting about my RT. The staff were lovely and the first nurse took my head and shoulders photo for my file and asked me loads of questions including was I pregnant (ha ha ha!!) said I, she said they had to ask all women aged 12 - 55 the same question!!!!!! I then sat in the waiting room and a young lad who looked about 12 called my name and off I went like a lamb with him to the CT room. Fortunately there were two other people in the room both women. So then began the fun, had to lie on the scanner arms up, stay still, lots of numbers discussed between the three nurses feet her, look there, hold it!!!!!!! and don't move (how is it when you're told don't move all you want to do is move??!!) So I'm lying there looking at the pretty lights thinking this is like a time machine wonder if I'll end up back in 1975 and then it was over. My tattooed dots were done (not a problem) and that was it, off you trott they said and that was that. Three days later received ALL my appointments with times and am so grateful that all are at my first choice hospital. Will keep you posted, after my first blast. Onwards and upwards towards the light at the end of what at times has seemed like a very long tunnel. :-)
