It ain't over 'til the fat lady sings

Just before Dr Jimmy lopped off my starboard berry, my hormone marker was a certain-death 14,638. Just before I started chemotherapy, Dr Karmen took another blood sample to see how effective the surgery had been on it's own.

Today's nurse flicked the readout onto my horizontal chest, face-down, with the precision of a casino croupier. I nervously lifted one corner. The important number was in red - 324. Woo hoo! It ain't over 'til the fat lady sings. My eyes darted around the clinic. Thankfully, it was the big nurse's day off.

  3. Blimey mate thats what I call a "hormongous" decrease - sorry! By my quick calculations approx a drop of 99.97787%; if you carry on like that then big nurse will be injecting you with hormone's - now that would be worth a photo ;-)
