It's been a really good two days!! It was so good to see Charis and Sandra over to visit on their way to the Isle of Wight. We made the most of the fabulous weather on Tuesday & had a BBQ :)
On Tuesday I went to see the oncologist in London and he was really pleased with the surgery & all my progress up to now. He was very positive about everything and said that the likelihood of the cancer coming back is low and that he's very optimistic about the future. He wants to see me for my next check up....in Feb 2011!!
I was being given the most amazing news all over again and it is really starting to sink in :)
It was really nice to see some of the doctors & nurses that treated me during chemotherapy....and more importantly it felt so good not to be going in there for treatment this time :)
Yesterday Charis & Sandra took me to Oxford for my radiotherapy appointment. It was great to have Charis there as she's a qualified radiographer and was able to talk me through everything. They put me on a simulator scanning machine, pulled me round to get me into the right position for radiotherapy, took some scans, took photos, drew on me with black marker & even gave me some little tatoos!
I will start radiotherapy on 8th June and finish on 5th July. I need to go there everyday Monday to Friday but the actual treatment will only take 5 or 10 minutes. The main side effects are red / sore skin & tiredness but this is definitely the easiest bit of all the treatment!
