That’s got to be Good!

It was that time again, time for my regular oncology check-up at the hospital. A whole day off work is what I organised, allowing plenty of time to get to my morning appointment without rushing around, and the afternoon to enjoy a nice coffee at my favourite cafe on the way back home. It’s always a bit of a worry when appointment time rolls around again. You just can’t help thinking, “what if……” Once again, the news was good. Everything was clear and my cuddly teddy bear of a specialist (yes, he really does look like one) told me that he didn’t need to see me for a whole year. So……. that’s got to be good news, wouldn’t you say? My next appointment is not till 12 months time. By then it will be 5 years since I had my diagnosis and treatment. All being well, at my next appointment I will then be “cleared”, as they say, and the oncology department will not require me to keep coming back for tests. When that happens, I think I will need to plan a big celebration!
