Sun is shining so I am just off for a walk. My voice can only cope with about two minutes of conversation before I cough and splutter. Tumour on the lung produces these symptoms. I am OK as long as people aren't nice to me. A couple of phone calls made me choke but it is good to cry because people are being kind and thoughtful. When the GP first said, 'it could be lung cancer' I remember thinking, 'is it that simple? Is that how devastating news is delivered?'. As I left the surgery the kind, young doctor said 'all the best, hope things work out.' Seemed strange, doctors don't normally say that, he knew the signs were not good. Husband and son so thoughtful and supportive, I am blessed how many people go through something like this without such a loving family.
