Had a lovely lunch on Sunday ,with Paul's mum and dad and aunt and cousin. His aunt and cousin live in Aberdeen, and are not coming down for Christmas, so we had an early Christmas lunch , then went to the fair in George Square. We went to the Anchor Line , where I had been for my retirement lunch. The star of the show was Chloe-surprise!A great day was had by all !

I attended the Beatson yesterday for my planning scan for radiotherapy. It involved meeting with my oncologist to discuss the various side effects and to sign a consent form.He also gave me a booklet with all the information in it-I did read it, because he wrote it !
I got a photo taken for ID purposes , and this was placed in my notes-great idea !
I was then given Gastrografin to drink , to help outline the bowel for the ct scan.I think I have probably spoken about it before - it tastes of aniseed , which is fine if you like aniseed . I don't , but needs must ! I had the scan an hour later , and was marked with temporary markers .These markers pinpoint the area where the radiotherapy beams will be focused . I need to go back next week so that the markers can be made permanent- I've always wanted a tattoo! I will also have a continuous infusion of 5FU for the duration of the radiotherapy , so will just say this again-Thank goodness for the NHS !
