ABSTRACT

I met a patient this morning who has been coming to the day centre for two years. I always ask him how he is. I said ‘you are looking well’ and he said ‘I am well – they told me two years ago I had five days, and I have proved them wrong’. I said ‘good for you, carry on proving them wrong’. The doctors are brilliant, but many people have come in here and been told they have got months – and a couple of years later they are still going.
