Uneventful once again. Thank goodness. So far no side effects. I still have some pain under my arm (I think my nerves are mending so I seem to be feeling discomfort there).
The skeleton Kady spotted on the highway yesterday, wasn't human after all but just a very large Kangaroo. Kady had a meltdown yesterday when she was convinced she saw a human skeleton on the side of the road. After many tears and a drive home without siting anything we did the return trip today to discover that no it wasn't human but it was a large kangaroo.
The large mark on my back was from a screw on the table I lay on during my lining up etc on day one. No idea why I bruised so badly other than my blood is all over the place from chemo etc. I didn't feel a thing. I need to have some blood tests done but don't see the doctor for a few weeks.
Today Leah came into radio with me. Kady wussed out and sat in the waiting room once again. She had it in her head that it would be horrible and wouldn't come in. Leah loved it. Jim and Leo the radiologists treated her like a princess. She got to play with the remote that made the $3 million bed and machinery move about and go up and down. She got to see the laser lights that send green and red images across my chest.
When it was time to leave the room (whilst I had treatment) she happily went with the two guys to help out at the computer panel. The machine started up once, twice on my left side, then I hear a little voice over the microphone say MUMMY DON'T MOVE made me want to laugh so much but I wasn't allowed to move an inch. Next Leo comes in and removes a plate from the machine and heads back out. The machine starts up again with it's noises and clicking. The whole process is very quick. Then I hear Leah's little squeaky voice once again over the microphone, telling me it's all finished. She had a ball. Probably not the type of fun I would normally want her to have on school holidays but it helps her feel good. She worries and when she knows what is happening she feels much more secure.
She told me she could see me smile when she spoke. So hard not to move.
