I was supposed to see Mandy the cancer nurse 7 days after I'd finished my treatment but she has been away on holiday so she arranged it for today while I was at the hospital with my dad on his last day of treatment (Thursday, my 9th day after finishing) I told her my neck had started to feel sore and tight so she had a look and said that she could make it feel more comfortable by applying the dressing that I'm wearing in the picture below which I took when I got home. She put lots of cooling gel underneath and I have to keep this on for two days and keep squirting the gel down from the top so that it keeps it moisturised other then that she said she was really pleased at how I'm doing and was quite impressed when I told her I'd had a bag of crisps this morning...lol
