Hi Alison

it wasn’t painful at all & took about an hour all in all! 
feel ok this evening so far so good! 
Number 2 next Friday! 
I hope you are doing ok today too 

I’ve booked a wig appointment on Wednesday too! 
that’s my first treatment ️off! 
have a good weekend 

best wishes Kim x

Hi,

glad it went well,fo they do the Brachytherapy first before the chemo.How long did the actual treatment take whilst on the machine.

Good luck for next week.

Great that we are supporting each other

Love

Alison.

Thank you x 

yes 3 sessions of brachytherapy then chemo 

first session you will have CT scan … they insert it & CT scan for about 5 mins … then  moved me to radiotherapy room for treatment I was in there 15 minutes.   Listened to music!  It was pain free . 
that was it.   Next weeks one will be quicker as no CT scan .  
Hope that helps Alison 

it’s lovely we can support one another x 

love Kim x

Hi Alison 

your not silly at all.  Our emotions are all over the place as all this is still quite a shock to our system! 

we’ve both had big surgery & trying to get over that.  I have to admit the chemo is the one I’m dreading. 
But I know many people are going through it so we are not alone.  & there is a positive end for us!  

Re yesterday.  I’m still feeling ok.  No adverse effects … yet x 

you can have tea/coffee in morning but told me not to empty bladder before I went to hospital. 
so I went to loo about 9.30.  Had cup of tea & water & breakfast.  Appt was 11am.  Held it until procedure ended x 

Do you have family around you? Xx married? 

I have 2 sons. 2 grandchildren & one due in October!   Married 42 years x 

love & hugs
