Treatment

Sorry, I shouldn't have left you hanging, about the treatment I had on Tuesday. It was fine! A little uncomfortable at first but over in 10 minutes. First I lay on a table with my bottom over a hole for the x-ray. Then the consultant did an internal...always a joy! Next he put 2 cylinders on a metal rod, inserted them (yuk) and attached the end of the rod (hanging out I suppose) to a line that went to the box with the radioactive material in. They took an x-ray to make sure all was in place, left the room and I was fed radiation internally for 5 minutes. Funnily enough, I was so tired from worry by this point that I nearly fell asleep. The next and last one is tomorrow. Around 2:45 British Summer Time it will be all finished!
