First Follow-up

Six weeks after the last radiotherapy, I went for my first follow-up. The oncologist scrutinized my skin and seemed satisfied. I've lost about 600 gm but since I'm over-weight to begin with, I wasn't too concerned.

The next check up is in 3 months time.The oncologist told me I'll be seeing her every three months for the first year. This will progress into 6 monthly visits, then yearly visits until ... (with an embarrassed smile, she added) ... the end.

The end. It sounded ... No. I don't want to go there.
