If ever I had illusions of being star quality, they were dissipated this morning when I attended my regular session of radiation therapy at Christchurch Oncology Dept. The staff are typically friendly and supportive but the first thing they want to know from me is, “Have you brought your assistants with you today?”
Then all the staff want to talk about is Abe and Phoebe who happily play quietly in the waiting room and talk with people in the waiting room while I go in for my 2 minute zapping session.
