Hospital waiting rooms are odd enough. The oncology out-patients was no exception. Psychic magazines, 2nd hand book jumble sale, hairdresser and a secretary who offers neck massages (didn't get one).
The Consultant Oncologist who met us (approaching imminent retirement), had an air of contented distraction. He informed us that before Chemotherapy, there are a number of extra tests to go through.
One of the drugs they'll be using, Platinum-based, causes potential harm to kidneys and sense of hearing, so these are both checked out. And then there's sperm banking...
Oddly the consultant hinted that we were looking at a 1- max 2week wait. A chemotherapy nurse informed us later that it would be at least 3 weeks! I'll need to get Nurse Jo on the case.
