My blog is all about me and my journey with breast cancer. It is a diary of 2010 because I first discovered a problem on New Years' Day. If you want to read it in sequence as a story, then go back to my first post in January. I am chronicling events and treatments so that those who know me can discover where I am at, what has been done, and how I am feeling. It saves me repeating details of what's new to everyone I speak to. I had long wanted to be a faithful diarist, and not give up after a wee while. Your occasional comments will be an encouragement to me to continue. Names have been changed to protect the innocent!

21st October Radiotherapy


I'm less nervous about it now. You get used to it. The people don't mean to be distant. I'm beginning to make friends!! This is me posing with Joshua - a 3rd yr trainee radiographer (about 14! - aaah bless...), on the treatment couch thing with the machinery being positioned above me. Obviously I've kept my gown on for the photo so as not to offend your sensibilities!

Some days, like today, everything was on time and I was in and out of the Cancer Centre in 25 minutes. Other days, it can be an hour or so, depending on whether they have technical hitches or patient problems.
I'm getting more and more tired each day and am glad that half term is next week.
I'll have to miss tonight's Alpha discussion group as I'm needed at home this evening. Pray they'll manage to enjoy themselves without me! Tonight's theme for discussion is "Why and How Do I Pray?" I found this link.. if you're curious..
