On The Eve of Destruction (of my tumours!)

Well not really, but it feels like it all starts tomorrow.

In reality tomorrow's procedure is really just an information gathering exercise, a tonsil biopsy, so I am still not really starting the treatment campaign.

I have been advised that there is some chance that the tonsil with the tumour may be removed.  This would only occur if there is enough isolation and non-cancerous tissue to repair the site.  This would be a big win.  If it is not removed tomorrow, it will be treated by RT.

The results of the biopsy will then inform the fine details of the treatment plan.

So even though I haven't technically started my treatment - going under a GA in a hospital, sure feels like a start.  

The procedure will take place at Flinders Private.

It is a Day Surgery, with possible overnight stay.

I report there at 8:30am.

I will look forward to finding a tonsil in a jar on my bedside cabinet, but will report the result either way.

In the meantime enjoy some passionate protest singing, champagne choreography,  frank and beans and some very unsatisfying harmonica playing that never quite delivers on what it promises..
