21-11-23 Day 2 Treatment

 Well good evening everyone  , and can I first say a Big Thank You to those of you who read Yesterdays Blog and Commented , much appreciated .

Todays Blog wont be as long , simply because everything went smoothly which was nice .

Just after 1 pm I received a phone call from a Taxi saying he was on his way to collect me and take me to Christies , good news ,Thomas can relax now , off we go and an uneventful Drive to Christies , dropped off and managed to Navigate myself  to Department 39 , Suite 4 , my treatment location for the next 6 weeks , check in with Naomi at the Reception desk and go to sit in the the waiting room .

After about 20 minutes I am called into the Treatment room , and its the same team as yesterday , Team Leader Lydia , trainee Whitney , Colleen and Hannah  are the names  I have got so far there a couple of others and 1 Achilles  , I think we are getting a bit of a Bond already and they are all lovely people. I didnt give much information out yesterday about the room because there was lots of other stuff to get through . Its a big room and some of the team sit at a Control Desk outside the Treatment room and then you go into where the Big Machine is , Lydia enquires how I am after yesterdays problems and I say all is well .

Then its shirt off time and I am positioned very Precisely on the Big Machine table using my new Tattoo as a Marker , a block is positioned under my knees and i am pushed back on to a Shaped Head/Neck support  and then Lined up exactly and quite firmly on the Bed , they ask if I am ready for the Mask and then Place it over my Face Head and Shoulders and Clip it firmly into place I am now Secure and my Top Half is fixed , my eyes and mouth are covered by the Mask and I breathe through the Opening  over my Nose , Lydia asks if am o.k and ready for treatment , I give the thumbs up and they then all leave the Room but can observe me from their room.

The machine then boots up makes a few noises and then the Treatment starts , I cant see or feel anything but I can detect changes in the Light as the Machine moves around me Shooting its Rays at a Target on the Mask  , Again I feel nothing and just stay as calm as possible and Control my breathing as best that I can .

And then the machine stops and the enter the room and Gently remove  the Mask and Ask if I am o.k , the bed of the Machine is lowered and I am helped off and get dressed say thank you to the Team and leave the treatment room.

From there I head to the Transport Desk give them my paperwork and they book my Transport home , no Jade today , it was a Taxi  that arrived and they call out my name and thats me off home .

It is right to say that the Christies is Big and Busy and I must say yesterday was a bit daunting going through the process for the first time but the Staff are lovely and have a sense of how   be feeling on your first day , especially after all the Hassle I had , but they really are lovely and help you to relax.

So my lovely friends that is Day 2 of 30 done , more news tomorrow.

Thank you
