Radiotherapy start date

Spent the morning at the Royal Marsden - back in the mould room, where the first step is to create a 'hollow man' shell of my head and shoulders. This is then used to make the plastic shell that holds me in place for the radiotherapy.

Dates at the Marsden
7/10 - Shell fitting
7/10 - CT Scanning
26/10 - Simulator check plan
29/10 - Treatment starts and runs until Dec 10th
Treatment is 5 days a week.

I am going to try to get this started sooner. The impact of treatment is cumulative, I expect at least three weeks of normal living before things get tough. Many people hit their personal low points a week after radiotherapy starts, which will be just before and over Xmas for me. We will stay in London this year for Xmas.
