Radiotherapy and a whinge in general!

So tell me why are all the radiograghers that do the mapping young guys -and usually with piercings and coloured hair?The texta drawings take you by surprise.I felt so embarassed and staff seemed to be walking in and out. I feel like I should have warned you Josie but thought you would have had it all explained  prior.So let me now prepare you for your first zap.They(2 radiographers)will take ages positioning you on the zap table - wriggle abit more here,no shoulder up abit,no shoulder down abit blah blah blah.Then they all run out of the room and you are told don't move.You are waiting like a shag on a rock with this star wars machine over your head.Then zapping noise starts and machine moves.I was petrified,could hardly breathe,felt like I was in some giant microwave.Good thing is it's over in a minute or so. As the days progress you get used to the drill.I am a bigger whoos than you (I didn't finish chemo remember)and I got through it  so I know you will to. As for your mother in law -not your problem-she's your husband's mother so let him listen and do for her.Go to your room alot!! hide! Just wallow in sookie land for awhile,you have every right to be there.No need to pretend to us that you are chirpy and positive about radiation.But josie ,it will be easier on you than chemo.Im sorry it's such a long,drawn out,painful  year for you.You had better plan some serious whooping it up in a few months time.
