Just a quick posting whilst I'm eagerly waiting for my flight home.

Feeling not only tired but pulled and pushed in every direction, it's bad enough on the tubes and at the stations, but it's been at the hospital too.

Mind you the highlight of the day was AB about to attempt to step on an escalator coming down when she wished to go up, I didn't tell her, thought it would be quite amusing to watch, I'm kind like that.

The hospital visit this afternoon was a little bit uncomfortable , it turns out the 'shield' is more of a face,neck and shoulder mask. I was told that the actual procedure of fitting it was uncomfortable but tolerable.

It's like a large piece of warm flexible plastic that they cover you with, squeeze it around you and then wait ten minutes for it to tighten and dry.

Your eyes are shut, you do have a hole just big enough for your nose and one for your mouth. It is not nice, there is quite a lot of pressure , it feels claustrophobic and ten minutes seems a long time.

I then went into the ct planning room, where the new mask ( this time with eyeholes cut out) was once agin fitted, fastened down tight and had another ten minutes in a scanner. Keeping calm, very still and trying not to panic when I realised that this would be the format every time I have radiotherapy.

Still , I'm sure others have had far worse. Oh, and had another tattoo.

Start date is 8th May, finish the beginning of June.

Roll on the Summer I say.
