Colonic polyps

[Nick]

Picking Nod up early tomorrow for his Consultant appointment

Thought I would take him out today to help him get things in perspective 

Breedon on the Hill: Anglo Saxon abbey on a site occupied by the Romans on the site of a Bronze Age hill fort with evidence of earlier Neolithic occupation. I suggested this long continuity of human habitation reminded us of our insignificance in the span of time  (especially him  ).

Massive vistas across three counties. The scale reinforces our insignificance

Took him inside and showed him the famous alabaster skeleton




Walked back to the car via the ancient graveyard 

I think it cheered him up

It's what friends are for

So five weeks of radiotherapy and chemotherapy to try to shrink the tumour and then they will decide about surgery.

Not sure if this is good news or bad news

And, evem more bafflingly, he has been told to eat more chocolate!!

[Miss Demeanour]

OOOOOhhhhhh can you get that on prescription now ? 

How is Nod feeling about it all ?

[Nick]

He says he is keen to get started (but he is still a big girl's blouse  )

Sounds ghastly TBH... 

My stepfather had a single dose of radiotherapy for his bladder tumour and decided that the cure was worserer than the disease so he didn't go back...

Sounds like better than it could have been news.

I think it is more targetted now. My mate George had radio a couple of years ago and reported losing his body hair    He didn't need it anyway. I doubt Nod needs hair. He can wear a jumper 

[Steve]

Losing hair is usually more associated with chemo and it can grow back.  Both women I know that had chemo recently wore wigs but it grew back. 

AFAIK Radio Therapy is used for very localised treatment direct to the tumour or the site where it was removed from.

Zackly what I told Nod.  I am not aware (fortunately) of how hairy he is, but he has a hoover, so no problem
