Iwas hopeing for a break from melanoma after my last op but was informed yesterday I needed radiotherapy to mop up any cells that escaped so now need 25 treatments, then expected a short break as was told treatment would probebly start in about one month's time,another mistake they rang this afternoon to say I'm to go next wednesday for the mask making and again on friday so it looks likei wont get a break before easter. I guess I should be gratefull as this is the first time I haven't been kept waiting for treatment.
one piece of good news I don't have to stick to that awfull fat free diet,so asthey tell me I will have a sore mouth with the radiotherapy I am going tomake the most of it and have a real binge without feeling guilty
