mums started her radiotherapy. They're zaping the tumours in her brain first of all, five days of zappage. Mums fine so far (think we're all more worried than she is!!) and has had no side effects yet.
The radiotherapisty person said she will definately lose her hair. He also said that she's to take control, shave it then go and get a wig before she has to watch it fall out gradually. Mum was totally dreading…
