The Radiotherapy Centre @ NUH was deserted when we arrived @ 2:40pm last Friday. Quite glad to have it that way. The nurses and staff were really helpful, smiley and courteous too. We met with 2 young doctors and had each others questions asked and answered. They conducted a neurological test on Jo to check that her nerves and sensations are normal. Apart from the slight numbness of her left thigh, she was fine. Treatment will start immediately once "planning" is done.
Next Steps
1. Proceed to Tan Tock Seng Hospital (TTSH) later today to mark the spots for radiation via CT scan.
2. No. of Sessions: 5 x 30 minutes each
3. Treatment duration: 7 to 13 February @ NUH
4. Side effects - tiredness, redness on the back.
Overall Jo's feeling quite fine. Her painkillers help to relieve the backaches daily. Docs say that it'll take about 4 weeks from the last treatment to see the improvement. She should be free of backaches by then.
