From Thursday last week I had to attend the "Rosemere Cancer Centre" at Preston Hospital, yes I have been diagnosed with the Old Chaps "Prostrate Cancer", luckily it has been discovered early and has every chance of being cured by Radio and Hormone Therapy.
The friendliness, dedication and willingness to help from all the staff is in stark contrast to what Hazel received at Royal Blackburn A and E a few weeks ago.
After attending every weekday for another three weeks, I will hopefully be able to "Ring the Bell" three times to say that my Radio Therapy is finished and that the Cancer Cells are gone or in remission.
The only downside is that I have been advised to leave my beloved "Hobgoblin" ale alone for the duration. (but I may sneak an odd one in order to keep my (spirits up), no
pun intended.
