hello steady Edie here H with a brief
update on how radiother therapy is going
uh
radiotherapy you know I'm assured that
that's that's on the sign at the
hospital radiotherapy this this way um
so it sounds like an easy listening
radio station doesn't it it's kind of
comforting you know being called radio
therapy but um you know i' I've had done
eight sessions up to now three last week
and and Monday's a Friday this week um
ideally I mean it should be seven days a
week you know but you know they take you
know they take time off at
weekends uh but but it's it's it's it's
going well I mean it's 30 30 sessions
sounds like a lot um but each one lasts
about eight
minutes so that's about 240 minutes
overall so I'm told that they could do
that all at once but it would probably
fry my brain so anyway for those um are
undergoing radiotherapy or or you know
have it in the pipeline or know someone
who's had it I can tell you that it's
it's it's fairly fairly fairly harmless
and
painless you know I was read the I was
read the you know the description of it
before my first session and uh you know
you always get to feeling that to try to
talk you out of these things are you
sure that you really want to go with go
ahead with this and okay fine um yeah
you know and I they asked me questions
about it you know they said they said
have you got any questions and I said
yeah it does involve any
needles that was my answer to it because
I my three month stay in hospital was
was surprisingly painless but I just
don't like needles I don't like
injections you know
put put it in your arm and bl out and
all all that that's the thing I'm still
squeamish about and they said No it's
it's okay so so my my radio therapy
which is 8 minutes um thereabouts it
involves me wearing a tight fitting
mask and lying down on on a a a a a bed
I think you you know you have to call it
a bed or or table or something and
these machines I'm kind of used to these
machines you know I mean there's a smell
I can there's a smell from these
machines which are which is disturbing
and it's it's um it's like a bon kind of
smell that's what I can smell from these
machines a bon sensation I'm not
imagining that but you know it's it's
it's um yeah you know it's well but
overall it's it's painless but I'm
assured by by a doctor who I spoke to um
the other day and the nurses and the
assistants I'm assured that it's
painless to begin with but the pain
comes later on and there the side
effects all come later on remember I've
had eight sessions of it another 22s to
go so you know I'm I I'm you know a
doctor the other day told me
you know that it's it's okay now but you
will
feel you know some side
effects uh towards the end of the
treatment so oh thought you know there's
me thinking it's going to be painless
but so I've got that to look forward to
and the doctor said to me he said so you
be a little bit wobbly after after um
you know your radio therapy finishes in
you know at the end of it after at the
end of 30
sessions so um you know I you know we
spend a couple weeks
recovering I hope he's not watching this
because I I didn't tell him that you
know a week after radiotherapy ends and
I'm planning on a trip to
Europe yeah you know but
um but anyway that's it there's not much
to to say but with the hospital
transport um I'm getting an ambulance
there and back because I can't walk
properly uh but but you know it's it's
you have to wait a long time for these
things I've waited up to up to three
hours for for the return Journey
and but you know the hospital Wi-Fi is
is is excellent you know so I take my
you know thank God for smart you know
for smartphones and social media I'm
able to you know have have internet
while I'm waiting for the uh you know
for the returned transport but you know
from door to door I mean i' done it in
two hours the other day but but the
following day it was five hours H you
never know what patient transport but
it's it's free I mean some people have
suggested that I should get a taxi there
and back I mean well that's 60 Journeys
that would cost me a lot of money let me
just say that 60 Journeys in in a
taxi what would cost about the same as
what what is my flight and hotel hotels
do that European destination that I'm
going in five days so you know people
you know you know say how can you how
can You' afford to to to travel to all
these all these countries well because
I'm shrewed with money I I looking at
that way I'm saving on money with the
hospital transport and uh you
know you know that that's that's that
would pay for my my European break for
five days you know the hotels and the
and the flight anyway so listen radio
therapy is going well but I'm assured
that it's it will get worse as it as it
get towards the end I've actually
started you know I'm actually feeling a
bit of a headache a headache right now
and that's something I haven't had for a
long time so I want to go go H you know
go shopping later I will buy paracetamol
now in the days when I drunk and I had
hangovers I would never ever not have
paracetamol at home it was an essential
in case I woke up in the middle of the
night with a you know with a screaming
Heche but you know I it's it's having
its effects now and you know I thought
when I begin with radio therapy that my
improve my physical Improvement would go
backward but they haven't they haven't
they haven't gone backwards but they
haven't gone forward they basically
stayed the same so anyway anyway like
this is just a little video to tell you
how I'm how I'm doing with radio therapy
it's it's it's um it's an altery well
I'll say it's an alterntive but it's
it's it's these softer options of
chemotherapy and I just want to get it
out the way where but know 30 sessions
over six weeks oh I make it about
another month that I've got to got to go
uh before my final day of radio therapy
but um you know it is what it is and if
it does the B then so be it anyway uh
I'll I'll see you in the next video
thanks for watching
