Well not a lot of progress this week from my perspective but today is the day that all the clever doctors and consultants get together, drink tea and eat biscuits, and shuffle through the newcomers to the cancer rollercoaster's scans and biopsies and decide just how screwed you are and how best to treat you.
This being the brave new world of management speak these people are "The Multidisciplinary Team" and no doubt they will be "creating holistic care pathways" that will result in "positive patient health outcomes" whilst remaining "true to core clinical values and in keeping with our community health centred ethos; now sit there and we'll play you some whalesong"
I think they're missing a trick. They should call themselves "The Funky Tumor Prodding Squad"
They'd better get me an appointment with them soon as I'm running out of fingernails here.
UPDATE: Abut 10 minutes after posting that the hospital rang, I've got thr first appointment on Monday.
It happens on a Friday afternoon up here.
