January 16th

I worked in Kettering for 2 days last week and Dave was so good to drive me up as I find it really difficult driving & the pain starts to kick in when I'm sitting in one position for 2 hours.

I started radiotherapy on Friday. All went well but my pain has got increasingly worse over the last week - I haven't been able to sleep much at night and have had to sleep sitting up a lot of the time as it's too difficult to lie down. Friday night was the worst and I had to call the hospital on Saturday morning to see if they could prescribe some stronger pain killers. They were fantastic as always and I picked up some morphine tablets from the GP on Saturday afternoon.
