I've got 4 more days of radiotherapy to go. It's not that bad. A quarter of my body resembles a baked ham at the moment and my throat is starting to feel a bit cooked but I'm managing the 190km a day round trip OK.
I'm driving up on my own because I'm not in the mood to spend 2.5 hours in the car with anyone who wants to talk to me and the friends that have offered to come are chatterboxes. Then they want to have lunch. Terrible, isn't it... I am sooo grumpy now and I just want to get home where I can have a pain pill, chill out and nap when I want to
The burns are nasty but not to the point of being distressing. I'm fair skinned and very sun damaged so I was expecting to get fried. The fatigue is a nuisance, but at least I don't feel sick so it's bearable too. I've just started taking Targin in the afternoon when I get home which, though it doesn't completely kill the pain, puts me in a headspace where I don't care that much about it. And it stops me wanting to scratch the itchy bits. I love my opioids...
Best of luck, Marg
