This is for anyone who can't keep on the topic. It's hard not to stray, but if we have 'no specific topic ' we can't go off topic.
It is good just to be able to wander and talk about other things.
I could have named it 'Waffle'. Then I couldn't go off topic.
if only the seat was warmer in the middle of these wintry nights! (the female perspective)!!!!
The trick is to go just after your partner gets back into bed.
Is this all just "Toilet Humour"

Not on the sunbed until 6.10 tonight and then 5.50 with a meeting with the clinical staff after that on Friday - I hope that it's good news! Mentally in a good place but my body wants to be either in bed or the small room!!

Is that the small room with a sunbed in, or the small room with your best friend in?
I think everyone gets a meeting near the end of the treatment. Mine was on the second last day. Bit of a waste of time really. They were just asking about any problems. A bit late, but...
Mine was just about my flow, being down to a trickle.

It's the small room with the wooden seat and now my copy of the Daily Telegraph - I might have to try the Daily Mail - it's easier to read in there!

WW,
How did the Radiotherapy go yesterday? No problems this time?
When I went, there were 3 rooms, I was room 3, there was a rolling information screen running, saying the room number and if it was running on time or not.
Most of the time it was 5 to 20 minutes late, but someone would come out to let you know whether or not to take the enemas and drink the water on time.
I had been picked up every day by "Daft as a Brush", a charity that takes patients to and from cancer treatment. They were wonderful. The driver would wait there for you, no matter how long you were.
You could see the curtains twitching in the street when I was picked up and taken home.
Anyway, enough of my ramblings. I hope things went ok. What did your husband think of the Radiation session?
I was so nervous before the first one, then I thought, after the first one, "Why did I worry?"
I only had the dud enema on my first day.
