CT scan today. Tell the boys

More people to tell today. I joined Paul Curtis's meeting and told them all. Much easier than yesterday. Had to apologise to Anna for not saying anything on Tuesday. She said she had suspected anyway, not too shocked, but she was very supportive. I also had a word directly with Niall & Wai.
Managed to get to talk to James this afternoon, he was the first one to express some shock to start with the news. It was quite relaxed, we talked about his uncle who had a quite severe brain tumor and is clean now.

Went to the Nuffield hospital in Chandlers Ford this afternoon for a CT scan. That's my 4th hospital so far, the first private one. Had some horrible stuff to drink and then they took me in. Had to lie down on the bed. They put in a drip with more of the horrible stuff going into my veins. Then the bed moves in and out of a big doughnut a few times. The whole thing is very quick - no more than 5 minutes. No results today, should find that out tomorrow.

Tell the boys today. Don't give them too much detail, just call it "Hodgkins". Mainly we have a laugh about lossing my hair and having to wear a silly hat. Christopher wants more detail, I think we managed to answer his questions. Matthew just thinks I'll be too scary without a hat. They're just taking it in their stride, not upset at all.
