I've had enough of this journey, can someone please stop the bus so I can get off? After finding out on Friday that M would need the GSF injections and collecting the kit on Monday I went into a bit of tizz as I'm borderline phobic of needles and I had been told one injection a day for seven days for the rest of treatment, we've a sharps bin big enough to accommodate needles for the next ten years that's just sat looking at me all the time.

The second appointment with the consultant was last Friday. He feels a bit like an old friend now, and I recognise the nurse too, so it's a comfortable experience now. Explained to him the results of everything that's happened since I last saw him and the dates for RT starting next week.
He gave everything a check and was very pleased with the way it was all progressing. he looked at the 2 stiches in my side that are still quite visible and explained that these are deep stitches that will...
