Nearly finished, YAY!
We had a 'short' week last week for radiation treatment, but instead of enjoying the extra days home - yours truly went down with a major dose of the flu (yuk!) Not even worthy of a blog discussion,...

Hi Maria! Thank you for your lovely post - well tomorrow is the last radiation! The radiologist realised that we had to come back on the Monday for a 'round trip' and organised me to have a 'Saturnday morning' treatment - what this means is that I get to have my 'final' treatment in the morning and we can drive straight home WOOHOO!
We have met some really lovely people here at Rotary House and made new friends - the staff have been lovely. The cleaning lady just came and gave me a big 'goodbye' hug as she wont be on shift tomorrow - how sweet......Some the radiation staff have been lovely too - I mean they are all pretty nice, just some of them are really really nice! I have been walking around sick as a dog the past day or so, soon as my antibiotics ran out, my flu came back with a vengeance! So hubby went up to the chemist and got my repeat filled. The radiology nurse told me that because I was getting 'radiation zaps', my immune system was really, really low - Yup, found that out! So have been 'dragging' myself around, sniff, sniff, sneeze, cough wheeze blek!
My oncololgist saw me this morning and agreed I needed surgery on my face as a little skin cancer has popped up (bloody thing disappeared when I had chemo) no its back again - just a 'rough' bit of 'itchy' skin on the bottom of my cheek - but I knew right away what it was so no biggie.
Well ladies, I am so glad this bit is over - I have to say its gone quickly (thank goodness) but am so fed up. I have to say I am sorry for the ones that have to have 35+ sessions.......so knowing that I have had to 'pull my head in' and not complain........
Oh so excited - home yay! x x x Josie
