Happy New Year to you All! We had a splendid Christmas and New Year without any need to go into isolation, which was our biggest fear over the festive period. On 2nd Jan, K went to Marsden for her next dose of chemotherapy and also to start her daily dose of radiotherapy. Understandably she was very nervous about this new treatment and it kept her awake for a lot of the night of the 1st Jan. But she overcame her fear and today she had her second dose before returning home with Ann. The chemo is quite low dose so we're hoping that she'll be staying away from Kingston over the next few weeks.

The radiotherapy is given everyday and K attends as an outpatient. It only takes a few minutes to administer and the real bug bear is going to be the daily "commute" but obviously it's all worthwhile! At the moment she's doing a backwards jigsaw and singing "Kung fu fighting", so perhaps the side effects of the radiotherapy are already showing!
