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..

Tuesday 9 May 2006 - Undecided

This evening I had an unexpected phone call from the Hospital in Birmingham. Before any decision is made as to whether or not I require further treatment I will need to go for more scans, a bone scan, related to my arm, and a CT scan of the chest: “dotting the ‘i’s and crossing the ‘t’s” as the doctor said. [I did not catch the name of the doctor as I took the call on my mobile phone and I was not at home: he sounded African]

I may have to go to the specialist hospital in Birmingham for a short stay to have the scans done there: an alternative would be to have to scans done locally and then go to clinic in Birmingham. I have requested for whichever route turns the results around the quickest.
