I'm going into hospital tomorrow, to receive my first casium implant radiotherapy. I'm getting anxious about what it's going to be like. I've been talked through it by the Nurse, but still keep thinking. Can I lie still for that long 17 hours? Will it be sore? How sore? What side effects will I have? These are questions I know nobody has the answer to, and I need to calm myself down and take it all as it comes. Easier said than done though!
