Week 5
I hope everyone had a nice weekend, mine was perfect as my appointment on the Friday for my radio/chemo treatment was 12.30 leaving us time to just do what we wanted, so my wife and I went into town as they have a French style bar/restaurant called ‘The Parisian’ (tres chic).

Day 18
Another session of treatment today, been given stupid ‘o’clock (6:10pm). I suppose it’s my own fault for requesting afternoon appointments, but when does that time equate to an afternoon?
