13th of February

Well today is the 1st day of smashing this Cancer out of my body radiotherapy and Chemo, yes I'm scared but I want to LIVE, I want to see my beautiful, amazing naughty hehe children grow up. 

So we arrived at Weston Park and a lovely nurse explained everything what was going to happen, I've been told this before but because they don't want you to worry they keep going over it with you amazing.

Then I was ask to go into the radiotherapy room, I was asked to lay on table I was so frightened but the nurses are talking to you to try and keep you calm, they then put the mask on and fastened me to the table, yes it's tight but I just wanted it to be over, I asked them to leave the lights on and turn the music up it was Take That album playing, the nurses left the room and the machine started then the song came on, Never Forget how perfect was that only thing was I couldn't sing lol. Then it was over, I was so happy with myself, I had done it, 1 down 34 to go,  I CAN DO THIS xx

When I came out Jason was there waiting and he had timed me 15mins it took and that will get quicker how fantastic is that. 

This is the marks the mask left because it's that tight but it needs to be. 

 We then went up to the ward, I met a lady who has the same Cancer as me and has started treatment at the same time as me, it's so helpful to be able to talk to someone who is having the same experience and same fears. Kim is older than me but because we've hit it off we've been put in the same room just a 2 bed room how perfect is that. 

Here's Kim 

 

Here's me and Kim 

 

Last week Dr Foran asked if I would talk to the press department in Weston Park, about the trial drug and my experience so far, this is to help Weston Park to promote how wonderful they are and hopefully get more funding, I said yes and they came to see me today, how exciting I was also asked if Calendar came would I talk to them, I said I will do anything if it helps get funding. How exciting something good is already coming out of the trial drug, fingers crossed they get extra funding. 

Have been given loads of anti sickness drugs, loads of fluids and I have to monitor my fluids in and out, I have to wee in to a jug how funny is that. 

 

And at 8.45pm the Chemo was hooked up and is now being running. 

 

I've been promised I will be out in time to be at the kids production and I will be there no matter what. 

Love to you all and thank you for all your support xxxx
