Radiotherapy.


So close - but so far!! Timmy has just two more sessions of Radiotherapy left but has just been admitted with a fever. So we're taking it day by day. Hopefully when he's a little better we can get these last two out of the way for him. He's suffering at the moment with ulcers and burns from the treatment so he's under the weather - plus now stuck in hospital..... :( If all goes well he'll have a chance to get radio tomorrow but only if he makes the night without a spike in his temperature. Otherwise we'll just take it at his pace and hope his soreness eases off a little so he can feel a little more like normal.

We'd like to just say a huge thank you to all the staff at Bristol Royal Children's Hospital Oncology and Radiotherapy depts. As well as the anesthetists who have come in early with theater staff every morning to GA Timmy for treatment. All have been instrumental in making what could have been a very traumatic time much more easy and even on some days fun.....I hope you get the appreciation you all deserve, we genuinely count ourselves lucky to have such skills and kindness so close.
