Week 6 , Wed 27-12-23 , day 26 , Treatment 26 of 30 !!

 Good evening everyone , firstly I hope you all had a safe and Happy Christmas time .

So than you to all those who read and commented on last Fridays Blog seems ages ago ,4 days without treatment I was having withdrawal symptoms ha ha , amazing how quick the body attunes isnt it. Lots to get through tonight. 

So here it is week 6 , Taxi arrived on time and apart from a Flock of Canada Geese deciding to cross the road  in front of us, made people laugh , it was a smooth traffic free journey arriving quite early , so straight to have what I thought was my last Vampire visit , Wrong , I now have another on Saturday and the 2nd next Tuesday , oh joy , didnt have to wait long it was the regular Lady who has done them all along , so done and off to Dept 39 suite 4 . and it was very busy so probably a long wait today , which would be very Handy for me.

On Friday I mentioned about my Neck being sore , well apparently the Radiotherapy  continues working after the Treatment part , and on Friday evening my Neck  Skin started to Blister even though I had been moisturizing  and it looked a Bloody mess , so I started applying the Zeroveen Cream that Christies had supplied for such an event , However by Saturday it was much worse, and the Cream was making the area much larger and very Red and Blistered , so I decided to stop using it and use Another product which calmed it down a lot , but its Christmas week end so I decided to not use  the Zeroveen and struggle through until I attended at Clinic today .To be honest I was worried that they may stop my Treatment , scared me. 

So when I saw Lydia emerge from suite 4 I asked if I could have a word , of course she said and sat next to e and her eyes went straight to my Neck !! and I told her the story , Right she said , dont worry it  would have to be something very serious to stop the Treatments at this stage , wow I felt better , I will sort it out for you , Minutes later she comes back with a Polymem Collar , its pre coated on 1 side with medication , she cut to shape so if fitted chin and neck , and is quite comfortable andi keep on for 3 days and the healing process carries on , but take off for shower and Treatment  , and also gave me some Flaminol Ointment  for the sore bits on my shoulders . Lydia and the Team have been amazing and gone well beyond my Hopes. So I also got a Prescription to take to my Local Pharmacy tomorrow which means I will be able to get stuff when I stop going to Christies  , wonderful Lady.

So then because its busy I end up in Suite 10 for treatment , and they wrap my Neck area in Cling film so the Mask would not stick to my face  , I felt like a Ham Sandwich ha ha , Treatment done I am then told I have to Now go and see the Dietitian and Doc , that wasnt in the script today and I now know its going to be a Late one !! Hey Ho 

So off the waiting room around the Corner and sit and wait , eventually called over by the Male Nurse to get weighed and taken to and interview room to wait again ( now I have told you about weird Co incidence here ) on my way round who do I see  ?

Jimmy and His Dad who are Part of my Team on the Blue Tower at Old Trafford as Safety Stewards like myself , now how spooky is that ? it Turns out that  Jimmys Dad  was found to have A Brain Tumour in early October  and had had an Operation ,And his Dad was Having Radiotherapy  Jimmy of course knew about me but what were the chances of meeting up Here ? Anyway were having a good catch up when my Doc appeared and took me away into the Interview room .

So the Doc was aware of my Neck from Lydia so was all o,k with what we had done , we had a good chat and update she looked down my throat checking all was well no Ulcers which is good . She said they were very pleased how things had gone despite some issues along the way and that I had repaid their trust and confidence in me to get through this Journey , which made me feel very good considering the state of my neck , and I had Promised Mr Hughes I would do it , stupid boy Pike . So a Handshake and off I went to Check it Transport 4-45 pm and Waited over an Hour tonight   but roads were clear at that time.

So there you are up to date , I am now going to watch Match of the Day which I recorded last  night !!

Enjoy the Blog night night 

Love you all , now keep me going for just a bit longer please x
