Went back to the hospital today to start my radiotherapy treatment. I hate going as it is a reminder that I am not well yet and still have another month or so to go. I wasn't the youngest there today, thankfully. There was a girl who must have been in her early 20's, she has a brain tumor. I wonder sometimes whether people I meet are there for a reason, I felt lucky again that mine is easier to treat, it makes me realise that things are not too bad really.
The staff were great as normal and today all men!! All far too young for me. I was drawn on, measured, sticky tape put on me and tattooed today. Okay the tattoos are the same as a pen mark not big and the only type of tattoo that will ever be on me. I had a CT scan too. All of it very quick and only in there an hour.
I have had my first 36 hours without seeing or speaking to anyone. It felt good and when I woke up this morning, I felt liberated. It never bothered me before and I was struggling with being on my own for too long, but keeping myself occupied and the garden is being weeded. It will take me months to get it under control, but a great distraction.
