So that is is, I've SAILED through it and had my last radiation treatment today.
The head radiographer said I'd come through it "remarkably well". I said "I do a lot of work on my mental outlook." and she said it is obviously working .. so she should know... she sees a lot of people having this treatment, after all!
I am really pleased to be at the end of that bit. Even though I am tired and sometimes sore/ achey, it really hasn't been as bad for me as it is for some people ... they reckon the radiation keeps working for another two weeks, and the side-effects of soreness and tiredness can last more than a month . ... but that still means I should be hunky-dory for Christmas.
Julie is here, and we had a little stroll round part of the lake today. She is getting her hair done now, so I might be posting pics of glamour sister soon!
(Mr Kettle, should you chance to read this blog -- thanks for your lovley card that came today .. it really made me smile. )

Hi Sue,
It's cousin Pauline again. Glad things are picking up. I feel sure your positive attitude has a lot to do with it.
I sent you mess., which got lost so I'll send the poem again. I guess you know it?
I remember it from the film 'Educating Rita' & it's by William Blake:
THE SICK ROSE
O Rose, thou art sick!
The invisibvle worm
That flies in the night
In the howling storm
Has found out thy bed
Of crimson joy,
And his dark secret love
Does thy life destroy.
Hope your sister had a good journey & settled in. Also love to all. Bye for now.

I was going to say that you did not look like someone having that kind of treatment - more like been to spa for pampering! :-)
I can imagine this is a huge relief to complete this stage - hope the pendant from B will bring luck for the future!
PS. I am hoping to have this Monday off - what you think? fancy a trip?
HI Suzi guess whos just gone home after eating a huge tea?The Mistry boys and John.
Joe said just before they left that Mark hadnt come up to see you because he had a cough.
We had a heavey storm just before dinner we had gone to town but didnt get out of the car we came straight home rather than get soaked.
Hope you are feeling less sore today at least you have your own personnal medic on stand by , just i case you need reasuring about things.
As its pantomime time I was thinking of calling myself Widow Twanky we couldnd get into our bedroom for you know whos washing,Ive just sent three boxes back with Johnand a carrier full of paired up socks.
Ive still got all Julies stuff to iron.

Well done! I am really pleased that this stage is over and you can get a rest and build yourself up a bit. It is grand that your sister is visiting. Take care XXX
Great news -- congratulations! Now put your feet up for a while and enjoy the break :)
