Pain free life, not on the nod

Good evening lovelies,

 

Today was my 14th radiotherapy treatment. I am pain free as a result of asking for a second radio oncologist. The first one was not much chop at all.

 

She had no consultation with me before I transferred to the radio oncology department from the Day Unit, leaving me at the mercy of students who were uncertain of what to do or how to treat me.

 

My new doctor gave me 5 weeks between my last chemo and my first radiotherapy treatment.

She also put me onto fentanyl patches, taking me off the panadiene forte. I no longer nod off to sleep when people are trying to speak with me.

They make sense and I believe I make more sense now too.

 

My breast skin is quite sensitive and I am unable to wear a bra of any description. My shoulders are unable to cope with the straps cutting in, even through a t-shirt underneath.

 

Had a gorgeous sorbelene/saline soak from Jen today. This treatment made my head swoon, like I was going to fall over and my balance was so out of whack. I was scarcely able to keep my eyes open when having the soak. Came home, had lunch, brushed my teeth after meds and slept for a couple of hours, as I was told by everyone at the hospital.

 

Yummy scallops in garlic butter and fresh lime juice with tomato/cucumber/parsley salad for dinner. Managed to bake my sugar free banana muffins for afternoon tea too. Such a successful day and no my head didn't roll off my shoulders.

 

Need another sorb slather though and brush teeth and shower before I crash again.

 

Sweet dreams and infinite blessings of love and light to all.

Happy, safe weekend.
