Update from Hospital Visit (16/2/09) Mask Fitting

We went to the Churchill Hopspital for an appointment to fit a mask which is necessary when under going radiation therapy. It was not a very pleasant experience for Jo as it involved dipping the mask into hot water and waiting for it to soften and then molding it to her face (didn't make an improvement). After the making of the mask she had a CT sscan in order to establish the exact points of treatment for the tumour. Which has now grown considerably since last time. It is fair to say that Jo's speech has deteriorated considerably and I have difficulty trying to understand what she is saying complicated by the fact that she can neither read nor write at all now. We have now been given the dates and times for the treatment which commences on 3/3/09. See the link to view these dates (http://www.google.com/calendar/render), this gives access to the calender. If you're able to do any of the runs please contact Mary Street on her email address (mary.street@tiscali.co.uk). If you find you can do any other runs to the Churchill let her know. She is coordinating the rota for Jo's treatment which will last for 7 weeks.
