Well Im sooo disappointed as I wasnt tattooed.
As it is a scar and so very visable the nurse took a photo(no I didnt say cheese)
We arrived and had a very long wait as other patients went in before me.
When it was my turn I was led into the radiation room where I laid on the coach which was raised up.
The technician and a Doc came in and they realised I have 2 scars to zap.
One where the op was carried out and then the drain hole scar.
A piece of very cold metal was put on me where a line was drawn to mark the spots and then the nurse proceeded to take photos.
They explained how the radiation will be carried out and that was that I got dressed.
Off we went on the Bus back to Canturbury High Street and then the Park and Ride to Wincheap where we raided Morrisons for a milk shake and an Eccles Cake and sat in the glorious sunshine and had a picnic.
I feel a bit of a fraud really, all my family worried about me and there I was having a lovely time.
We bought a head collar for Louis as he has started to pull my arm and I was in agony through the night but I have just read that muscles do deteriate with Meso-- so that just might be happening and thats why my hands arms are in trouble.
Well next date is Oct 8th 2.15 for the Zapping.
