Daily visits to Queen Alexandra hospital, Cosham for my 37 day course of treatment. Travelling over on the hovercraft with a small group of men with similar problems. We get a taxi pickup to and from the hospital which makes things a bit easier and wait for each other in order to travel back togerther as a group. The machine that provides the treatment is called a linear accelerator. There are four at this hospital, costing a million quid each but only enough radiographers to allow three to be in use at any one time. The treatment takes a few minutes and a dose is delivered from four sides by the machine which rotates around the body as you lie on a glass table.No serious side effects yet save for a bit of diahorea and increased frequency of having to get up and go in the night.
6 down 31 to go!!
