Day 216: 24/25 Radiocity with new moon

We were back in action as usual this morning at Radiocity. I was feeling very flat heading in there - itchy and flaring red skin, more poking and prodding. I'm thoroughly sick of it, but also feeling a bit trepidatious about leaving the treatment bubble tomorrow after such a long time under its cover. Rowena warned me that this feeling would come crashing in at the end - it's unavoidable in her view. I just need to ride with it and go easy after such a long time of structuring my life around almost daily appointments of one kind or another. The really hard work starts now to get things in perspective and not to live my life in fear of recurrence.

After treatment I dropped Robbie to meet a former colleague and took myself off to 'Bills' to catch up with darling Deb before she heads off to the US at the end of the week. We had a lovely late breakfast and a great time catching up on news and making plans for summer, which will be here before we know it. Generous as ever, she and Mel bought me a stunning plum coloured silk shirt to celebrate the end of my treatment. I love it and can't wait to wear it soon. It comes from a beautiful boutique in Bermagui that I'm looking forward to revisiting when we head back down their in summer.

Robbie made us a delicious dinner tonight, and we caught up on some back to back episodes of 'The Good Fight' which we think is a bit cheesy, but perfect viewing right now. I also had a skype call with a lovely young woman in the Hague who has read my book and wanted to interview me about my views on prosecuting sexual violence at the ICC. It's encouraging to see the book being read and used by those interested in the area.

Today I was wearing a new necklace - a gold moon - that came as a bonus gift in a touch of online shopping I did last week!

I'm trying to ignore the madness emanating from the PRK - eyes closed and fingers in my ears LA LA LA!
