I finally got my appointment at UCHL It was Friday just gone. I was called on the phone at 6.30 Thursday night. a total surprise. "It's a nice hospital". I saw Professor Kelly but my consultant did not turn up. but this Professor was totally human. I liked him Instantly. he answered all my question's without sounding like. well like a consultant. I will be going In sometime this week so that he can "take a look Inside" just to satisfy his own mind that nothing else can be done. then I will be admitted for the Cystectomy soon after that.
It has almost been a year now since I visited my doctor complaining of blood In my urine. all the hospital appointment's all the "procedure's" have brought me to this point In time where I can look back and think. If I had known then what awaited me. If I had known then what I was to be put through. would I have been able to face It. my family have told me I have shown remarkable courage to have gone through what I and many other's have endured. I surprised them all by saying It's not the cancer I'm afraid of. It's the treatment. In my experience. "and It's only been one year" I have never been told anything about the particular form of cancer that I have. only the treatment of It and what that will entail. the side affect's the percentage's of surviving the operation. I have to go now. I'm thinking too much, . . . My wife has told me In the past that thinking will be my downfall,,,
