Wearing pants at the hospital

[Caultron]

...I haven't a problem attending hospital and dental appointments skirted.

Nor I, even to visit the urologist.

I was a bit surprised, though, when the physician's assistant turned out to be an East Indian woman who checked me all over for unusual growths and than gave me the prostate exam. But she was thoroughly professional and just said, "Would you lift that up, please?" when it came to that part of the exam .

Underpants? How inconvenient!

Rick and Jeffrey (and anyone else going through this), I've lost many friends and relatives to various cancers over the years and I feel for you and wish you all the best and speedy recovery. Cancer is insidious.

And I also sympathize with judgmental family. I have none of my own, but my wife's family are (mostly) all judgmental Mormons who for the most part are good people but can't tolerate any dissent. I recently came out as transgender to some of them but still tread somewhat lightly, like most of you do. We'll see how the future goes with them and my transition.

Again, all my wishes for full recoveries,
Chloe

Thank you so much!

I have just finished my external beam radiotherapy treatments. A 70Gy dose over 33 sessions. Today is my first day off and I need it - very tired. The service provided by the NHS has been stunningly good.

My Skirtcraft arrived just in time for me to wear it out on the last day at the hospital on Friday.

Thank you for your concern. My wife's treatments begin tomorrow.
All of the judgmental family members I have to contend with are on my wife's side as I have no family near by.

Thank you for your concern. My wife's treatments begin tomorrow.

My very best wishes for her progress through the treatment, and to you, as you need the support as well right now.

Wow! 70 Gy, I work in radiation protection and a lot of my job involves how to deal with major emergencies, such as reactor accidents and also nuclear weapon accidents. 70 Gy is off the scale we talk about under the worst possible scenarios, it jus goes to show just how well the medical profession can focus radiation medicine, stunning what they do these days!

Yes, I am a Radiation Protection Supervisor for my work, I deal with X-rays everyday so I am WELL aware of what they have done to me! It is the fractionation that makes this possible, so I got 2.1Gy each weekday targeted on thyroid and neck lymph nodes, each session was about 5 minutes - I am not sure how much of that was beam time and how much was LINAC repositioning. That is still a hell of a belt, and if I had my badge on at the time, the monitoring service would have been in fits!

The worst that happened was the skin on my neck reddened, blistered and peeled off, yuk. I had difficulty swallowing and a dry mouth where it has hit my salivary glands. I am taking this week off to recover, my skin is gradually returning to normal, but it looks like I won't need to shave my neck again...
The body is wonderful machine when it comes to self-repair.

Best wishes to you both in your fights against cancer. I lost my mother last Monday (Nov 30) to cancer, so the experience of the illness is fresh in my mind. Fight the good fight!
