Well yesterday, there I was in a field walking the dog & hubby and the phone rang. It was my Consultant's secretary telling me he'd had a cancellation and could I attend the hospital that afternoon. I was a little early for another 3 month consult but was happy to go as I was a bit worried about the possible lymphoedema. Have I also mentioned he's rather gorgeous!
Anyway, chatted about any side effects after Brachytherapy, none to speak of. He checked my feet, Sod's Law - the one that had been swollen wasn't but he said to keep an eye on it. Elevate whenever possible, don't wear shoes with T bars. He could give me Teds stockings (Compression) and refer me to a clinic if need be.
Then the examination, My CNS (lovely lady) was present as was a student nurse. No problems with the speculum (I dilated before I'd had my shower) , noticed movement over my shoulder and there I was, in all my glory, on a TV screen. Not nice looking up your own vagina - don't recommend it!! LOL
He checked my Brachy scar tissue, palpated my tummy and pronounced all good. Back to see him in September. The team there are so good, totally put you at your ease, don't rush you and are informative.

Oh Lamb, you do make me laugh! I couldn't imagine anything worse than looking at your own Colonoscopy!
Hope you're still doing ok.
Big hugs your way, Barb xx
