I seem to have been at the hospital all day. We arrived at 8:30 and had to wait till 10:30 for the treatment. It was over by 11:30 but then we had to wait for the consultant to arrive...at 1:40. We finally got home at 3:00. Well, at least it's over now. I don't feel as well as I have in the past immediately after the treatment. However, I'm sure it will pass.
I am going back next Tuesday for a pre-radiotherapy visit. After that I'll have a two to three weeks before it actually starts. The amount of daily treatment is down to 5 weeks from 6. The consultant hopes to have it all over just after Easter.
As I was leafing through the Times while waiting for treatment, I found a full page article about Hilary Thomas, my consultant. She is recovering from breast cancer, and was talking about how she reacted to the diagnosis and how having cancer has helped her to understand what her patients go through. If I can find it on the Internet, I'll add a link.
While I was at the hospital, I started back at my novel. It was good and I will try and finish the entry (I'm writing it as a blog) tomorrow either at home or when I go to London with Emma.

Thanks for the update.
Good to hear the chemo is over and that you have the schedule for the radiotherpay. You must be relieved.
You'd mentioned before that your cosultant was recovering from breast cancer. Surely it gives her a special connection with her patients. It would be interesting to read the Times article about her.
Looking forward to reading more about Evie's life.
May the after effects of the chemo not be too severe.
love, mj
