Day One Hundred & Ninety One (Radiotherapy 1)

Today will be my first radiotherapy session in Oxford at 2:30pm - we're staying in Oxford tonight as tomorrow's session is at 9am so it avoids battling the rush hour traffic. Most days radiotherapy is at around 12:30pm which is great as it means I don't have to get up too early or get caught up in traffic.

It will be strange to try to get back into a routine everyday after the last few months but it's good practice! I'm told to expect tiredness towards the end of the treatment as it builds up over the four weeks and can last for quite a while once the treatment is over but apart from that and red / sore skin it will definitely be a lot easier than surgery & chemotherapy. It was great to be able to chat to Charis about it over the weekend as she's a qualified radiotherapist / radiographer (sorry Charis I always forget which is which!!)

It was lovely to catch up with Nicky for coffee yesterday & with Steve & Ruth last night. Dave's back is still giving him a lot of pain - it's been sore since Friday so we hope & pray it will improve really soon.
