Saturday 15th May 2004
Went to my local pub last night and arranged for a buffet to be provided for family and friends on Saturday 29th May before I go in for my radical neck dissection on Monday the 1st June. I intend to have a good bash-up before my treatment begins and hope this party will put me in the right frame of mind.

Today, Anthony’s partner, Cheryl, came round and we went to the garden centre where I got a hanging basket for the wall above my front door.

I then went to my local to meet a man who had neck cancer and also had surgery. He was very nice and talked to me about his treatment. He did not have radiotherapy, just surgery. He still drinks and smokes; this is not very good in my opinion as the medical profession do their best for you so the least you can do is do your bit. Then again, who am I to judge anyone.
