14 down, 6 to go

Only a week and a day left of Radiotherapy, I'm hesitant to say it but it has actually gone quite quickly and not been too traumatic.  It took about a week to get over the feeling of 'what on earth am I doing here, lying on a bed getting fried by a machine'.  Now I just go in, make small talk with the lovely radiotherapists while they draw on me and move me into position, then they leave and I think happy thoughts and it's all over, really quick.  The getting there and back is the long boring bit that I could do without but hey ho.

I've kept up running which I think has helped to keep my energy levels up and apart from struggling a little in the mornings I don't feel any adverse effects of RT in that way yet.  The skin effects however started to set in on Thursday and, as expected are getting worse daily.  Unfortunately this is set to worsen for up to two weeks after treatment before improving.  Currently its like mild sunburn, nothing too horrific.

Adrian and I have been away this weekend testing out the new rubber dinghy before attempting to lower small children off the yacht into it!!  We have had spectacular weather.
