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 !!

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 .

@tigerbeth. Amazing photos and u look stunning. So nice to have the fabulous things to look forward to and enjoy to take our minds of all the cancer crap!!

Thank you @"Kiwi Angel" It was a great day !Back to reality today , med onc appt at Breast care centre , GP app at rooms, rads appt a hospital ,spending all day coming & going !!

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. Yvette xxx

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
