Radiotherapy


Ellen has had a good few days. She has been on her first bike ride (she was pulled behind Daddy's bike in her new trailer) and had her first day at nursery school. We have, however, also been in hospital having lots of scan and today had her radiotherapy planning scan. All these have involved Ellen having either oral sedation or a general anaesthetic which always proves challenging as she is unable to eat or drink for six hours before the scan and when she comes round is like a drunk teenager (either giggling or falling over!). We have two more scans this week and then two weeks off before radiotherapy begins on Monday 5th October. This will involve 14 morning sessions of radiotherapy with a general anaesthetic. A very daunting prospect.......
