Wake up Saturday morning and the house is strangely quiet. I've slept very well for a change, it's now 10am there should be noise. The radio is always on. Then I realise. The radio is on. Yesterday I had muffled hearing and ringing in the ears. This morning I am almost deaf. I have been warned that this may happen and will be temporary, although there may be a little bit of permanent damage. I clear my throat…
I think one of my good points is that I can sometimes give sensible and useful advice. One of my many bad points is that I give this advice to others, but I never ever listen to it myself. For example someone may confide that they have some little medical problem like a lump or unexplained bleeding. They don't want to go to a GP.

I suspect it should have taken place last week but my Oncologist was on holiday then. My husband is driving me. I don't think I would have gone otherwise. I could not face another trip on the hospital transport, especially with the increasing…
