Third Radiotherapy Treatment

I was hit by the fatigue bug today. Apparently this is 'cos my body has to repair damage caused by the radiotherapy to healthy cells.

Picked up the following from Cancer Research UK:
  • exercise lightly - light to moderate exercise every day helps people with cancer to feel better and can give them more energy
  • getting support from other people - incidentally the Blossom support group is on this evening at 6pm. I slept from 5pm to 7pm. Hope they had a good time.
  • resting and sleeping
  • improving my diet
  • keeping a fatigue diary - Keep a record of how you are feeling, and how your energy levels change. This will help you to tell if you are more or less tired than before, and help you to identify which activities make you feel better or worse.
Perhaps it's due to me going to church office today and from there to BBC to get a book for the kids (7 Habits of Happy Kids by Sean Covey) before rushing for radio. After radio, I stood for more than 30mins at the bank. Perhaps it's all that. Let me rest more before I blog further.

Tomorrow's session is at 12.50pm. I'll miss picking up kids again but next week, I think all are in the morning. Thank you, God.
