Story 1:
During a cardio-calcium test a tumour was seen in my lung, then during a lung scan a tumour was spotted in the opposite breast. Following having surgery to remove top ⅓ of lung and discovering some cells present in the lymph – I am at the time of writing this finishing day 4 of a hi dose chemo cycle at Northam Hospital. The staff I have seen here are amazing – caring, supportive, positive and willing to share a giggle. It means a lot to be able to have at least some of my treatment close to home, as this has been.
Story 2:
Today of all days the patient toilet door in the chemo unit is being a damn nuisance – it sounds and looks like someone is trying to break in, and it happens for every patient and is clearly heard by everyone in the ward. It is, in my opinion, clearly irritating to patients (but I believe has been driving staff up the wall on and off for about 6 weeks, but has intensified last few days).
