Had a visit to the cancer centre at Traralgon hospital this week....although it is a bright and new building and the staff are professional and friendly I hope no one I know, be they friend or family has to go there. The place has a feeling about it that is not pleasant, all the patiants I saw were very elderly and looked like they were just hanging onto life.
The meeting with the oncologist overseeing my treatment went well, I start on the 7th Decenber and will go every working day for twenty days, so should be done by mid January. Unlike the surgery I dont feel positive about this part of the journey, I know it will increase my chance of survival, but I am not looking forward to visiting this place every day and being surrounded by so much pain and suffering.
On a brighter note, I went out on my bike with the Traralgon bunch this morning, managed to complete the ride with the bunch which makes me feel mentally o.k. Part of me thinks that if I can do the same as non cancer sufferers then I must be o.k and not being affected by the illness.
Thanks all, Col'
