The Wait

The Wait

Waiting for my treatment to start took 3 hours as there were 12 people in front of me and no drugs available. I've now started the first stage of treatment, which basically involves more waiting around as salty water is pumped into my body. This could possibly be the most boring illness in the whole world!

Well it's getting slightly more interesting. My bag has been swapped - I now have toxic chemicals flowing through my veins! Also, I've found other youngish people, which makes it slightly less alien. So far I feel fine apart from a slight metally taste in my mouth.

I now have my own bed but it's in a ward from the dark ages. I guess the wait is over and the journey has begun...
