Saturday 24th July 2004 to Sunday 15th August 2004
Weekdays spent going back and forth to Cookridge for my radiotherapy. My eating gradually became harder and harder due to mouth ulcers and swelling accompanied by pain in my throat. I also lost a lot of weight. On starting my radiotherapy, I was 16 stone and by the time I was taken into hospital I had dropped to just over 13 stone. The skin on my neck on the area of radiotherapy had begun to weep and break up with bleeding and scabs.
