Well girls the start of another journey . Had my first radiotherapy this morning. Stressed out straight away when I looked out the window and saw snow. Left half an hour earlier and ended up being ten minutes late as traffic was at snails pace. Stress!!! De stressed when I got there as they were so nice and said they understood as the weather was so bad.
It was a painless experience. Went to cornelscourt looking for a cotton bra but none and got some men's cotton hankies for under my boob.
My joints are killing me and I'm getting physio on Thursday on my leg. I feel like an old woman to be honest but I'm getting my hair dyed on Friday with a non ammonia dye (getting a patch test tomorrow) and my work colleagues are coming to Wexford with me at weekend to celebrate being cancer free so that should perk me up.
Not feeling great today to be honest, more hospitals and machines, sometimes it gets you down but you have to carry on. I'm going to ring the cancer support centre tomorrow and book counselling and relaxation I really think I need it. Although the weekend might be counselling enough as my girlfriends are brilliant and I can laugh and cry with them.
I swore I wouldn't complain once chemo was finished and none of this is as bad as that. You just have days like this I suppose.
