Day Four of the radiotherapy - into the routine now - but a lunchtime appointment instead of morning. No music today either (maybe I've upset them..?) - but I was invited to inspect the Survivor's Tapestry when I arrived at the clinic...
I mentioned to them about the cramps and the tiredness and although understanding and listening, they're pretty sure that it's not the radiotherapy that's causing it - it's too short a course of treatment. So I don't really know - it's not that bad and if it gets worse I'll just go and see my GP tomorrow.
But talking of understanding and listening, I went for my first counselling session with J today ( Yes - another J!). Very useful to clarify some things before I go in and think about how to cope in hospital. We've agreed to meet again for a regular session when I come out.
And just to round off the plumbing saga, the builder and the plumber came round this morning and we agreed that we'd just leave it for now - Sod's Law has meant that the hot water has been fine for the last week! They did say that if mum and G have any problems while they're staying here, then to call them and they'll come straight round.
My appetite has been up and down all week - either not hungry at all or ravenous or craving chocolate. Or gherkins. ( Same with alcohol - I couldn't stand the thought of a drink last night - but tonight a glass or two of wine has gone down nicely..). But tonight a nice sensible ordinary meat and two veg tea - including sweetcorn. I suddenly realised that it'll be my last for a few months...
