Meet the Consultant
Today we met the Consultant Urologist at St Helier hospital.
It was quite daunting sitting in the waiting room, surrounded by MacMillan Cancer support literature. Eventually - we were told we were in the wrong waiting room and went to the correct place and saw the consultant !
After an inital discussion, he examined me and was fairly confident we were dealing with testicular cancer, however, I needed to have an Ultrasound and CT scan for them to make further decisions.
During the discussions, it became clear that if you were to choose a cancer - yes weird - but if you were- it would be the one to pick due to the success rate in getting rid of it.
Upon that news - we left and booked in the appointments for the scans.
Still in the "don't know what's going on" phase and about to boost the NHS car park fund again.
But hey - we are seeing the right people - It's going to be OK.....just remember the words Craig used - "No matter the odds never give up"
Craig was a colleague and friend who had different circumstances to me, sadly lost his battle but his words have become part of my families mantra. Never give up on anything. Thank you Craig your determination and strength and love for your family has made me even more determined to fight this not just for me but for my family.
