I had to take my wife to hospital today for an appointment to see her consultant. We have been waiting to hear if the cancer had spread. I got a call at 11am and was asked to get her there within the hour. It took a while for the wife to get ready. The normal 20 minute journey was done in 10 minutes and we got there within half an hour.
Because we didn’t have a letter they wouldn’t let us in.
I can’t say on here how desperate I felt as they couldn’t find anyone to authorise access.
We have been waiting at home for three weeks in isolation, no real contact from the hospital and the surgeon had said if the cancer had spread, he wouldn’t operate and that chemo isn’t an option at the moment. This consultation was very important and significant. So there we stood whilst the clock ticked and our consultation started to vanish.
I broke.
They eventually after 25 minutes let us in and we had to dash to the reception. They told us that the security had changed after they had contacted us and that several people had been held back, all for different consultants. If we had been any longer the surgeon would have had to leave.
The news was that the operation may take place next week in a private hospital. No intensive care available. High risk and if the hospital becomes infected, no chance of survival.
The hospital itself was empty. Ghostly empty. I have had to visit at 1am in the past and it was busier.
We have new battles to fight, new hopes and worries.
Our only sanctuary is our home.

All the best to you and your missus TOM. My brother has recently got positive news after several years of living with cancer, and he's not the first in our family, so hang in there mate, positive things do happen.

My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.My young sister in law was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer on Saturday which has spread to her brain and stomach,they put her out of hospital,she has no pain relief and can't even get a sleep due to pain.We can't go near her as we fear we could kill her if one of us have coronavirus.....surely the NHS need to deal with both coronavirus and other crucial care at this difficult time?? Anyway,think positive,as I am.Regards Ric ☺

Thanks for the kind words and support.

I wanted to share with you how Coronavirus is effecting people like my family.

My aim was to highlight that what is already a difficult time is made so much worse by the fight against the virus.

We are fine and the desperation has been put back on the shelf for another day.

Last night we joined in the OSC online pub quiz, we had already had a nice chat over WhatsApp with the family (my wife needs the practice on using it) and we had a pleasant evening.

Today I will be back at work, sat in my home office. We will go back into the waiting for appointments phase. Our lives are back to abnormal.

Spring must be close as the cum ft who normal hibernate over winter in the hills of West Yorkshire is seen frequenting its summer nesting area the seaside. Usually seen in family groups eating chips greeting each other with it's traditional and unmistakeable call "ahright, af ye cum ft day or cum ft week"
