So today's the day that I go in for biopsy II.
The chief of minimally invasive surgery - Dr Hermann, is the guy to try to get a lump of me today. They're planning on this taking an afternoon - check in 12.45, operation at 2.45, home by 7.00. Somehow I just don't believe that, call me an old skeptic but my experience of Chief Hermann has been that he's not a man to conform to something as everyday as a schedule.
Anyway as the snow falls and I look longingly at Judith's breakfast (no food for me today!) I'm getting ready to have him take first a suspect lump from my neck 'there's a 50-50 chance it's cancerous' and then if the 50% happens to be on my side and it's clear another sample from my chest. In the words of The Chief "You'll wake up with a cut in your neck, you might have one in your chest too, you should check when you wake up"
Spent last night coughing blood (not good. One or two 'symptoms' now seem to be popping up - as do nodes and bits of cancer. Bollocks. Seems that I'm not immune to symptoms after all.
Results should be back quickly from this one
We shall see
