0/ Mrs Braff :-x
It's kind of my fault for not making the appointment when I should have back in Oct/Nov. Christmas was coming and well ... you know .... ๐
But yes, I really shouldn't worry. I've had 2 ultrasounds which don't show any cancer.
Last week I had to leave work half way through because I was bleeding heavily. Having a wad of paper towels stuffed in your OK's isn't the most comfortable feeling. :^O

Oh my book hasn't arrived yet. I told my Buddhist teacher about it and she's going to buy a copy too. I'm so looking forward to it arriving!

All the best for Thursday Ms Cat. I'll wear OK's minus the paper towels for you.
OK ta :^O :-x

Freddie just wondering if I may ask a few questions? Only if you want to of course.
Firstly I know nothing about radiation therapy, so sorry if they are stupid questions.
Does it hurt when you are having the treatment?
Do you feel sick afterwards, and for how long?
When you travel home after treatment should the driver take any special care (eg: avoid really windy roads etc)?
I'm a volunteer red cross patient transport driver, and one day I'll have to transport someone for radiation treatment and I wouldn't want to make thier trip home unnecessarily unpleasant.
No it doesn't hurt, it takes longer to set up then it takes for the radiation, the actual radiation is only a matter of about 4 mins. Around about the 2nd week the area being treated becomes very red and burnt, it can blister and weep. They have a nurse available to check you are doing OK, the nurse weighs you weekly, and provides creams etc to help with any issues which crop up along the way. They also have a dietition to help if you are having problems with maintaining your weight during your treatment time.
I guess some people may become unwell, but from being with my OH when he went through his treatment, he became very fatigued, slept lots.
I don't think there would be any issues with travelling,
Thank you for volunteering your time to help with transport, it's people like you who make our journey possible โฅ

My appointment with the specialist gyno was supposed to be today but they rescheduled for Thursday. Now I'm getting nervous ๐
How annoying Catty, now you have to pull on your big girl OK knickers and be ready and settled for Thursday, good luck if I don't pop in before Thursday โฅ
Thanks Braff:-x
