Radiotherapy

So I am waiting for my second radiotherapy session. The only magazines are a thing called “Hello”. Have you ever seen such a thing? Dreadful load of tripe about some very uninteresting people who I have never heard of. I had a joke with the nurse and he said “We have mostly women here and they seem to like it”. This raises an interesting question – is it true that Radiotherapy is mostly women? I wonder why?

Two young women then appear. Both late teens I think. One in a wheelchair and the other walking with a stick. We all start chatting and it is soon clear that these girls are sisters and are both receiving a long series of radiotherapy. One of them has lost all her hair but it is now growing back and she is debating whether to have it coloured and what style.
A nurse appears. One girl says “you seem to be here all the time. You ought to have a holiday”. Her sister says “What’s happened, has she made a mistake? She has not X rayed your arse instead of your chest has she?”

I am then invited in for my blast so I miss the rest. What fun we have in the RT department.
