Radiotherapy week six
Tuesday I started the boost rads. It was verging on being scary. An extension arm was connected to the machine and a plate inserted in with a oval cut out (almost like a stencil). The machine was then lowered to within about two cm of my breast and very close to my face. Two zaps then done.
Wednesday I had rads and appointment with Workcover doctor. After that I ran away to work so husband could do all the running around. But my eldest son (16) texted pick me up from his girlfriend's. Home late 9.30pm. Not a good sleep.
Thursday (if I didn't need further proof that I try to do too much this was it) four parent teacher interviews in Werribee at the kids high school, race over to Sunshine to do rads, race back to Werribee do four more interviews. Zoom home get ready for work, get into work last an hour and half then ask and get sent home as I hit teary headachy tired stage. Drive home go to bed until tea time. Believe me I don't need to be told I over did it.
Friday Take the 16 y.o. For his learner's permit, passes yay!, drop him off at school; then go to second last rad 29/30!:) I celebrate in advance by going to Werribee Plaza afterwards and book a 5 night trip to Sydney in the school hols. Husband was impressed now he gets to look at his dream boat and we get to go somewhere we have never stayed before. I even managed to get travel insurance. Cheryle :)
