ABSTRACT

The weekend is over too soon and the daily hospital trek begins, but there's only one more day to wait for the scan. Today I'll see the consultant as well as have radiotherapy, while my neighbour visits a friend on a ward. Although the clinic waiting area is full, it's not long before I'm ushered into the consulting room. Perhaps they know I have a long drive home. The beaming smile accompanies our ‘How-are-you-fine’ preamble.
