Radiation

One of the last steps in this journey will start tomorrow. Saskia had a meeting with the radiologist more than a week ago, where the whole procedure was explained. For the next 2-3 weeks, Saskia will have to be in hospital on a daily basis (except weekends). This will be done in the Royal Adelaide Hospital as there is no such machine in the Women's and Children.
A special mask for her was made so that her head and neck will always be in the same position when she receives the radiation. She was explained that she should not feel anything and there is no such thing as feeling unwell. It will take however a lot of energy out of her, especially after the second week, but other than that, it should not be such a big ordeal.
Saskia herself is getting much better now. She is eating a lot more and re-gaining her strength. We had to get her a wheelchair as walking any longer than a minute or two was too much. She does however take the dogs for small walks again which is fantastic.
She feels quite anxious about the next couple of weeks, which is quite understandable. She is sooooo over it all (aren't we all?), but she also knows that she has nearly reached the end of this horrible ordeal.
Lets hope and pray that this time she has beaten it for good. Please keep her in your prayers when she starts the next stage.
