« Thursday… t+40 - and the first radiotherapy treatmentMonday… 25% complete! »

Friday… 2 down - 10 to go!

Oct 27th 2006PeterMore treatment!

And that just about says it all really! I had the second dose of rays this evening - slightly delayed because the machine I was booked into had broken, so I had to wait for a slot on another one. However it all went smoothly, and was a little qicker than last night as there wasn’t the need to take alignment X-rays (that was done last night) or fit calibration monitors. It was also more comfortable as one of the shims under my head was removed, easing the pressure of the mask.

I’m not sure if there any side effects yet - the bottom of my tongue feels odd, but my sense of taste is OK - so far. My throat is a little sore, but that has been the case for a week or so.

Anyway, a break for a couple of days - the next treatment is on Monday afternoon.

I am staying up in London tomorrow - I’m off to a Birthday Party tomorrow evening (an old school friend that I haven’t seen since… we left school, then I’m going home on Sunday, and back on Monday.

So Onwards and Upwards!

    Presumably Simon? Please give him my best wishes.
    The treatment seems a bit grim just now - you are 20% towards completion which is what I tell myself when I’m on the treadmill in the gymn!

    You win.

    Did you hear the talk on the Ecess Baggage by Jo and Rob Gambi on the Seven Summits, inspiring you may want to use the listen again facility.

    Truely onwards and upwards.
