On the receiving end
Tomorrow I start my Radiation Therapy. Having been planning and delivering other people’s radiation for 10.5 years I admit that this is the part of my treatment that I have been stressed about the most, wheras I thought I’d be fine about it.
Last wk I had my simulation session, all went fine except both my arms went dead about half way through and when I went to put them down my hands were so floppy I literally hit myself in the face - sooo embarrassing!!!
i found it quite stressful seeing my friend/colleague having to have long discussions with my Rad Onc whilst I was pretending not to notice and getting on with my work. Turns out I wasn’t a straightforward plan but RO is happy with it.
Hearing “nice and still we are watching you at all times you won’t see or feel anything just hear a buzzing noise” and not walking out the room tomorrow will be strange.
