Radiation Therapy - Week EIGHT

DAY TWO


False Start

Ring … ring … ring!

“Hello …”

“Hi this is the Radiation Oncology Department … we are running very late so it’s probably not worth your coming until we ring back”.

“OK …” “Well that was unexpected …”



Ahem ...

Ring … ring … ring!

“Hello …”

“Hi this is the Radiation Oncology Department … we’ve caught up quite a bit so come on in … but don’t rush”.

‘What the heck … I’ll go in at the regular time and … ‘take a punt’’!


On Arrival

“Mr. Purcell”?

“Yes.”

“If your bladder is ready you can come right on in.”

“Thanks … lead the way”!

What was that all about … sheesh!

The rest of the day went pretty much according to plan and I left the hospital chanting:
“29 down 9 to go”!!
