    @JJ70, i find the nurses much more helpful than the oncologist. Yes it sucks. Normal for 1 day would be goodxxxx

    Just started a new book and one of the characters had breast cancer, had chemo, has to take tablets for 5 years and had a right sided mastectomy- if it wasn’t for the fact I think she could be a spy or ex CIA I would think it was me!!   :o

    I LOVE that colour Rhodo, @Sister  .... when we lived in NZ - that particular colour was EVERYWHERE, especially in Rotorua.   I've loved it ever since!    I've rarely (if ever) seen it in NSW!  I think it needs the colder climate?

    Hope you didn't overdo the walk & feel OK!

    I've woken up feeling pretty good, really.  And the usual leg aches were very mild last night.

    I had so little sleep on Sunday night that I felt a bit shaky in the tummy yesterday, going off for my trial run of radiation. But maybe it was nerves. Last night I took a half-dose extra of oxazepam to try to make sure I slept well before my real radiation first blast today, and I did. @Sister and @arpie Those rhododenrons remind me of when my daughter and I walked the West Highland Way in Scotland - over eight days, in 2003. The rhodo trees were about twice as big as those. I was loving them, but they're regarded as a pest in Scotland.

    They are gorgeous, aren't they.  I was reading in the guide that quite a number of them were rescued at the last minute from old gardens when the freeway went in - some of them brought over in the early days of settlement.

    I struggled to sleep on the first day of rads, too @flaneuse.  Good luck today - I'm sure you'll be fine.
