The first bout of treatment is over.

Well, I just had my last of the radiotherapy sessions and I still feel pretty good, so hopefully I won't suddenly zonk out in the next day or two. The sessions themselves were very quick. You lay on the platform, they mark up your head in place, then strap you in to hold you still. Two bursts of 45 seconds each and you're done. (Medium rare is my preference!)

Whole process took less than ten minutes each time.

I now have to wait till Thursday for a follow-up and I reckon a bout of chemotherapy is to follow. I have an appointment for that in about a month. They say I should recover from radiotherapy before I start the chemo and that's the month, but I reckon on seeing if I can start earlier if I continue to feel OK.

Reckon I need another MRI scan too, to see how the brain tumour has been affected.

Thanks to everyone for their continuing support.

Beasty
