Celebrating our youngest sons wedding was the highlight of our week .
Amazing celebration of love ! Emotional , happy ,fun are some of the words to describe this wonderful day ! 


Today started Rads :# went off ok , luckily middle son drove me so I didn't have to search for a parking space.
The whole exercise is a pain in the arse ,only because of driving there & back and finding a park :o 
Hope the next 4 weeks goes quick !!

    Wow! such gorgeous photos @tigerbeth and you look sensational! What a fabulous outift! And your boys look so proud to be standing with their stunning mum! 

    There's nothing like a happy, family celebration! Congratulations to all of you.

    Good luck with the radiation - I wish for you that the four weeks will be over before you know it, and you'll have a smooth ride.

    Excellent! Good, happy busy is the best medicine of all.
    Yep, rads is a raving pain in the arse. It feels like it takes all day to do bugger all but develop quick simmer followed by a slow scorch. Who cooks like that? You get used to it just about the time you stop doing it.  Mxxx

    GORGEOUS!!  @tigerbeth   Lovely pics - Proud Mum!  :)  

    All the best with your rads ...... I didn't have too hard a time of it .... so hope you don't either. xxxx   Make sure you lather up with lotions & potions immediately after & 2-3 times a day - just not BEFORE the rads.  Only after.

    Do you have to travel far for the treatment?  I hope not - and I hope you have someone to drive you to & from.  

    You'll get used to flashing your body at all number of strangers over the next 4 weeks ..... 

    I was surprisingly emotional on my final session .... it caught me unawares!! They'd become 'part of my family' for the 4 weeks ..... be kind to yourself xxx

    Thanks @kmakm & @arpie pretty happy !! :)

    The nurse gave me pure sorbolene but I have moo goo as well so will probably try both 
    Its probably only 1/2 an hr away but in reality the traffic usually is crap & slows the trip down , parking is ridiculous !!
    Hopefully someone will drive me tomorrow , next week I will try to work in the morning & drive myself ,see how it goes .
    When I start getting too tired i'll have to take people up on their offers of driving me .
