Fri 19 & Sat 20 May 2006 – Two days good, two bad

The last couple of days have been followed by two days whereby I feel as though I have been stabbed through the chest from the front to the back.

Feeling fed up with all the waiting around for the hospital to contact me I decided to ring the specialist hospital to see if an appointment had been made for me to attend for the necessary Scans.

It was just as well I phoned: I had apparently been mislaid somewhere between the Oncology department and the department dealing with the Scans: I will not be seen within the two weeks as promised by the consultant who contacted me a week and a half ago.
I shall call them again on Monday and then again on Tuesday and again on…

I have also been given my second guardian Angel in the form of another glass figurine, albeit a much larger one this time, even though I am in no way religious it makes me realise…

…and at this point I am stumped!

I know it makes them realise how serious this illness is, but then again most people will have come across Cancer in one form or another in their own lives…

It may help them deal with it the situation better…

I believe the intention is to try and help me feel better about things and that I am being thought of…

My only wish is that proceeds from such gestures go towards helping others by donating a part, if not all, of the sale price to Cancer research.

And to those who have sent cards, cakes, good wishes, glass guardian angels and called around to say hi or take me for a drink a big THANK YOU.

May their Gods be with them?

[Received more cakes and goodies from a dear friend from work – also supplier of the first angel]
