It is now seven weeks since I finished radiotherapy. In many ways it seems longer and yet it still looms as large as life in everyday things. My skin hasn’t quite got back to normal; it is slightly discoloured, and needs cream on it daily. I am still tired from all the treatment that I had but it is getting better slowly.
I want to go to the beach with family but obviously, I have to wear a t-shirt to the beach. There are other things I would like to do but they aren’t practical.
I think the main reaction I am having at the moment is my total lack of enthusiasm for getting going. We have had various people staying or visiting and even with that it takes me a while to get going. Once I make up mind to do things that is fine and I am off and running. I also get upset with silly things; things that in the past I wouldn’t have give a second thought to.
There are some times that I look forward to the cooler months so that I look like everyone else; all wrapped up. Then when I look at other people I realise how fortunate I have been with the way things have gone.
I see the doctor in September and it will be interesting to see what she has to say. Up until then life goes on as normal as it can.
We love you and are so proud of you xxxx
