Radiotherapy week 2
Monday-social worker over talking about the port. Rads followed by approx. 1-2 mins appt with Radiation Oncologist. This must be the first time I really don't like one of my doctors.
Tuesday-rads breast feels warm at the end of treatment.
Physio running late, tell her I can't stay have to go to work. She replies oh well we will try next week.
Wednesday-machine/s not working properly wait just over a hour. Breast warm again. Go into town, have a look around the South Melbourne market then go to Workcover doctor appt. Home, swimming, traffic gridlock in Werribee due to train derailment late to basketball.
Thursday-rads, warm breast, go to work, lot of discomfort when reaching across baccarat table for cards, chips, cash etc.
Friday-rads notice this morning and last night distinct warmness to breast. Wait half an hour after rads to see nurse only to be told when approach desk that my appointment has been cancelled and oops sorry should have told you. Big drawback of automated check in.
All in all a lot easier than chemo, I'm moisturising 2-3 times a day and not really impressed with the allied health staff this week. Cheryle :)
