Chuffed to bits - managed to get through my first tonsil cancer scan with the mask on

I did it, the first tonsil cancer scan, with the mask on …one million brownie point to me, the staff were awesome, and did every O asked of them including having one of the lady technicians stand beside of me and keep me informed of what’s happening, at the last moment she said she has to go, but constantly spoke to me, explaining how long to go 

With her help I aced it

then was into chemo, loads of tea, sandwiches and biscuits, only down side was having to have all my wee, collected and took away.  

Also I asked about side effects and was told about three week, well sister …..half an hours drive the posh hospital car had me just getting out and vomiting for ages, after a few hours is that normal anyone know

but things is I've finally started
