After my initial consultation I got a lovel y letter from my Consultant, Richard Oakley. RIchard was charming and direct. He explained that I had a carcinoma and that the treatment would be rough. He copied me into the letter that he swent to my GP and I quote
" Thank you for referring this delightful Glaswegian gentleman who works for the local authority...On examination, he is a thin, but well looking gentleman. HIs intaoral examination reveals him to have a large right sided ulcer in his tonsillar fossa consistent with a T2 squamous cell carcinoma"
This goes on into further baffling detail of my illness, but he's already won me over with the delightful Glaswegian thing. Oh, and he promised me morphine. Nice guy

CT scan - pff. ALready feeling like an old hand. BIt of a jab while they colour your blood then pushed in and out of a Star Trek type machine. Rewarded myself for my bravery with a couple of pints in the Bunch of Grapes in Thomas Street.
