Radiotherapy Mask

Today we went to The Christie, I had a blood test, a CT scan and a mask made for having Radiotherapy. When we were ready to go home my blood test results came back and my haemoglobin was 67 but should be 100! As it was so low I had to go to the Children's Hospital to have a blood transfusion.

When we got there I had another blood test and was told we would have to wait three hours to start the blood transfusion. Due to the current situation, we decided it would be best to go home and come back later so we would spend as little time as possible in the hospital. However, when we got home we only had 15 minutes and the nurse rang to say the blood was ready. We had a quick tea and went straight back. The blood transfusion started at 7.30pm and finished at 11.30pm.

The next day I already started to feel a lot better and less tired.
