Suitcases are packed. Food and other necessities are in bags. Time for Rhys to head to Bristol so that he can start his radiotherapy.
Last Friday we had to go up for the planning session. All 15 minutes of it.
He had to lie on the bed while they took some measurements to make sure that everything would be lined up correctly when they start. He had at least one X-ray and then it was all done.
We were a bit frustrated because we'd expected to see the doctor but that wasn't the case.
Unfortunately that means that we still don't know what the results of the kidney scan were so we have no idea what the state of Rhys' kidneys will be at the end of the 6 weeks. The radiographer was going to contact the doctor to let her know that we wanted to speak with her. We'll be chasing that up tomorrow morning.
On Friday Tracey rang up CLIC House to confirm that we had a room and let them know that we'd be picking up the keys. She got told that although we did have a room booked that had been crossed out. Some phone calls by the staff and we found out that we were in Sam's House. The same place that we stayed when Rhys had his bone marrow transplant.
One of the staff gave us a tour so that we knew where everything was. Then she showed us to our room.
And would you believe it...
we are in the exact same room that we stayed in when he had his transplant.
6 years on and we are back in the same place. At least this time he gets to be and out and about a bit more. Who knows he might even manage to see the balloon festival and not just see the balloons flying by in the morning and evening which is what we've done every other time he's been in Bristol during treatment.
