Fifteen down and that means only five more to go. Four more treatments this week and then the last one next Monday and it won’t be a day too soon as the tiredness is really building up now.
Mostly I’m fine in the morning and can get a few things done but then I’m ready for a rest in the early afternoon but, of course, that’s just the time I have to rush round to go to the Christie for treatment and by the time I get back the opportunity has passed. Losing a couple of hours every weekday afternoon is a real bind.
I worked quite hard on Saturday morning and then I felt utterly shattered by lunch time. All the family turned up just after two and the girls were delighted to see their uncle for the first time in many months. The happy sound of little girls’ giggling and shrieking with excitement really got to me which was sad.
Sunday was much easier because I got most of the preparation of the evening meal done during the morning, had a sleep in the early afternoon and then I was OK until about seven o’clock before I started to droop again.
Today, being Monday, I had my weekly session with Dr. W. I mentioned to him a concern I had about a bruised feeling just where my left thigh becomes my left buttock. It’s a pain I had when almost all of me below the waist ached or hurt to some extent and it has returned on and off this last ten days or so. He says it is likely to be some soft tissue being affected and irritated by the radiation but if it is still troubling me in a few weeks he’ll have a closer look at it. His explaination makes sense and I feel reassured.
