Tuesday 20th July 2004
The days between my last entry and today are a bit of a blur as I have spent much of my time sleeping. This is caused, I think, by the tablets my doctor gave me for pain I am getting in the nerve endings in my chest. I started my radiotherapy today, not a good start as they forgot to pick me up. I phoned at 5 past 11 as my appointment was for 12:00. They said they would send me a taxi but this would take about 2 hours to get here. I phoned Cheryl who is on holiday from school and she took me. I am still very sleepy and haven‚t eaten for about a week. I am very depressed and this is at the start of my treatment.
