living with cancer

This is the one diary I should have kept 14 years ago and one I wish I did not feel the need to keep now. I was diagnosed with bone cancer in 1992 and survived. 2006 and I now have another tumor under investigation: the journey begins again..

Thursday 6 April 2006 - Night, night

The night-shift went really well, it was nice and comforting knowing that the girls sat at their desk were no more than a stones throw away, not that I could throw a stone very far right now.

Despite having the ‘watch’ [PCA] it was a little more uncomfortable than I would have liked so I was given a suppository by one of the nurses to help ease the pain and instructed that under no circumstance was I to feel the pain and suffer in silence.

I slept well thereafter.
