I had a phone call just now:
“Mr. Brannigan? It’s Sam, secretary to Dr. Davies.”
“Oh, hi.”
“As you know, he’s on holiday but he just asked me to call you about your CT scan, and to tell you that it is clear for lung cancer.”
Silence.
“He says he’ll see you next week, as planned.”
Long pause….. “Ok. Thanks.”
“You’re welcome. Have a good rest of the day.”
I don’t remember much about the next half hour.
Up arrow!
Excellent news. And at least someone called. When my dermatologist had a mole of mine checked, I waited a week beyond when I was told they would call back and had to track his assistant down for an answer. ‘We would have called you if there was any problem’, she said….
Upped you on the BBT site too. Great news
Brilliant!
Great news.
I can’t fault the communication between the oncology department I’ve been seen at and me. Regular calls from the specialist nurses asking how I am have been a great help.
Fantastic news – very glad to hear it!
That is great news but a secretary shouldn’t have done that!
That’s great news, Niall!
Uppity up. Fab. Good to hear. Blessings!
Thumbs up
Marvellous news. Now carry on getting better.
Superb news Niall, delighted for you.
*knee slides into the thread* YES! Nice one.
Haha
Back of the net! Great news indeed
Different bakery, but sail on dude:
Wonderful tidings, congratulations!
Great news.
Upwards and onwards.
Wonderful news! It’s nice that they didn’t make you wait until next week to tell you – that’s a LOT of worrying they’ve saved you.
😀
Result!!
That’s made my day and I ain’t even you. Well done now enjoy Fenway.
Good news Niall. What am I saying? Facking fantastic news!!!!
Top news Mr B
good news, glad to hear it.
Yesssss!
Brilliant news!
Still coughing, tho’? Sorry, no intent to piss on your chips as knowing what it ain’t is brilliant. Let’s hope n/w he tells you what it is. and how to sort it. That will be the, fingers crossed, great news as is this good.
(And, yeah, as said above, would have been better from the man, but maybe he was telling the news to others less fortunate.)
Completely with you, @retropath2 . I’m not having this pain in my chest, coughing, breathless crap for the rest of my life. To be fair to him, he is in Oz, on holiday. He knew that I knew he wasn’t back at work until next Tuesday and so got his secretary to at least put my mind at rest. I will always be grateful for that.
Good news! I went through similar a few years ago – didn’t mention it first time round because didn’t want to indulge in alternative diagnosis. In my case it turned out to be COPD (entirely self-inflicted, asthmatic ex-smoker 🙁 ), which is a pisser, but it’s manageable and at least it wasn’t cancer.
Don’t think Tedeschi Trucks have covered it, but…
I can’t imagine the huge release of pent up stress and emotion you must have felt and are surely still felling. Take a deep breath and exhale slowly…
feeling. God damn edit unfunction!
Great news!
❤️
Fucking ace.
Nice thing to read
Can I stop paying Derek Trucks now ?
Nah!
I say! The lovely Susan’s almost got the puppies out there! Great news and a great track!
That’s tremendous news. All the best
