Had an early appointment today so got the girls to school and met my mum at the train station and off we went. Felt sick and nervous but nowhere near as bad as the previous day. Got there early, changed, popped my card in and sat down and waited.
There were a few people there that I had seen on previous days, we all said hello and chatted about things in general. There was one old lady who was paying £70 a day in taxi fares to get there for her treatment, so we all chipped in with ideas of how she could get some help (talk to Macmillan nurse about help with cost, hospital transport etc). It was nice that we could all communicate on the same level, you know? we were all going through the same thing, it was a bummer, but it was like being part of a club. Would I normal sit and talk to a group of people so much older than me, no not really, but it was all very ... social!
The scan and radiotherapy again went well. Told them about the sickness, they suggested ginger beer etc. But I did it. Only one more day with the scan added on the end, then it's just the radiotherapy.
All went so well I was home by 1:30. Which gave me an hour to sit, on my own, at home, quietly with a cup of tea. It was almost normal. Then went to get kids from school. Even felt less sick so helped my 10 year old make tea (well, she's been asking to help and we did it together, but if you ask her, SHE made tea!!).
Tomorrow's a late appointment again, so will get the kids to school and spend the morning in the bath!! until it's time to get the train. Last one tomorrow before the weekend!!
