My Mum came with me again today but think I will do next week on my own. Got to the hospital without too much trouble and waited my turn. Lots of people there that I'd seen all week. Lots of elderly men today. All arrived and changed into dressing gowns and slippers. Did look funny, all sitting there in dresing gowns, nattering like old women!!
Anyway, got to my turn and had my treatment and the last of my scans…
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…
I did it!! I had my radiotherapy and the scan afterwards!!
I felt sick with nerves all morning as my treatment wasn't until this afternoon. I went on my own on the train yesterday, but I gave in today and asked my mum to go with me. It did help to keep my mind off things and kept the sickness at bay.
We had to wait around for my timeslot as they were running late, which made my nerves worse. But it gave me time…
So today it all started. Radiotherapy on my tumour behind my breastbone. I'm in so much pain now with it I can't wait to get on with it.
Got to the QE hospital in Birmigham early and changed into my breast gown that I will be wearing for my next 15 sessions. Got called to a little room to go through the paperwork, make sure I wasn't pregnant, go through the side affects. Told me I couldn't wear deodorant…
So I've had my planning CT scan. Went by train from Warwick to Birmingham as this is the trip I will have to do during the treatment. Not too bad. A bit of walking between stations. Hopefully will be able to have my treatment and still do the school run in the morning and afternoon, so hoping to get a lunchtime appointment slot.
Got changed into my gown, which will be mine for the next 3 weeks. and then taken in…
