Clinic Day

Thursdays are weekly radiotherapy clinic days.  Clinic involves a chat with the consultant or registrar about progress and any issues.

To be honest there isn't a lot going on at the moment that isn't already known.  It is clear that I am just eking my way through the last section of this treatment, as I am feeling weak, run-down and in pain but that is par for the course at this stage and a good excuse to carry on snoozing.

There may be some concern about my weight as I promptly lost another couple of pounds after last week's clinic but my weight has been steady from there.  I'm beginning to look a bit of an odd shape as I am stuffing in high fat calories which do nothing for the mid-section whilst the weight falls off my legs and arms.  I will probably end up looking like a "skinny Buddha".  I definitely have teh ear lobes for it but like Notoplip I am lacking in the top lip department and may just have to settle for being a "Bud" rather than a "Buddha"

I have a cluster of appointments at lunch time; clinic, radiotherapy and dentist (at the hospital), so that will keep me occupied for a while and will probably wear me out.   It's a far cry from hedonistic days of yesteryear.
