Going home after my first Radiotherapy

Final day of RT (for now) and heading home (24 Jun 10) for a while. I've been in hospital for almost 6 weeks so its going to feel a bit weird.

Got quite a collection of drugs, including the usual suspects of Paracetamol, Ibuprofen, Gabapentin and a fairly high dose of Oxycodone for breakthrough pain.

I've had lots of contact with the MacMillan team and they have been fantastic at sorting out my needs. I have a zimmer, a wheeled walker, sticks, a mattress lifter and a wheelchair.

My MacMillan nurse sorted out access to the disabled Blue Badge scheme for me very quickly and also got me a referral to The Oaks palliative care centre in Elgin.
