Counting this in stages so after today I'll be a 1/4 of the way through...
.
All my treatments have been put to mornings so today is at 9.20am. It's strange as I'm feeling quite nervous yet I know what to expect.
I still keep thinking about Saturday and meeting that other couple where the guy couldn't swallow.
Will post more later after I've got back...
It went really well today I got there about 15 minutes before my appointment as I wanted a word with Mary(oncology nurse) to chat with her about my concerns about not being able to swallow later on in my treatment, she sort of put my mind at rest by explaining that the guy I met on Saturday could have cancer in a differant place in his throat to me so that could cause the swelling to stop him swallowing whereas with mine being in the larynx I should be okay. But as I said she sort of put my mind at rest as she could have said that just pacify me, then when/if it happens I'd just have to deal with it.
Anyway I got called in on time and was walking out the hospital at 9.30am. Driving home, my neck as usual began to feel like it had been sunburnt and felt really hot but as I write this at 1.30pm that has disappeared and it feels like I haven't had anything done, although my neck at the front does look pink.
