First Day of Radiotherapy

Chauffeur No. 1, Lorna
Got up as usual, then walked the kids to school. My first chauffeur, Lorna came round at 10am and drove me to Mount Vernon. We chatted and caught up on the way. The hospital was very busy. My first radiotherapy appointment was as to be expected, the room is a massive white room with a remote controlled bed and a large white scanner like thing, red and green laser beams, about 4 staff lining me up before the zapping. No pain, just a noise. Lying still with my arms up behind me for about 15 minutes was quite hard. It was cold in there. 

We had some lunch after it was all over... all in all it was a good day. Picked the children up, made some cookies with them and then slept until early evening. 


I've reached the age where I can't function without glasses
Especially if they're empty
