Appointment with Oncologist

I now have an appointment booked to see the Oncologist Dr Alam this Friday. I will be meeting her at the Linda McCartney Centre at Liverpool Royal, but the actual treatment will be carried out at Clatterbridge Hospital. Here we will discuss the appointment schedule for the 6 weeks of Radiotherapy, and no doubt I'll be signing a load of consent forms to let them work their miracles. Hopefully we can come to an arrangement whereas it fits in nicely with my work routine.

Still no news on the CT scan I had last week. I'll be honest, I'm starting to get a bit worried. For the last 7-10 days I have had this cough which I can't seem to shift. Has it spread? All will be revealed soon I suppose. Still, I take great heart from knowing I'm in the best place I could be for the right care. Fortunately we live relatively close to Liverpool Royal where they have a specialist Sarcoma Clinic, and where they take patients from all around the North West.

4 million people they cover, with a yearly count of 120 for Sarcoma. I make that a 1 in 33,333. I knew I was special.

Until then, life will carry on as normal. I need to cheer my ass up a bit though. I have a wonderful family at home and need to focus more on the things that are important.
