It's exactly one week since I had my brachytherapy implants of Iodine-125 radioactive seeds and I have to say that I don't feel a lot different at the moment. This may of course be the lull before the storm and Gloria is watching my every move intently, analysing me for any possible sign of outcome.
"Have you found any seeds yet?"
"Nope."
"Not even when you wee?"
"No."
"Let's look at your bruises ..." There follows an embarrassing lying on the bed with legs in the air while Gloria peers at my scrotum area with intense interest. "I can't believe you heal so quickly."
"Me neither."
"What about your poos?"
"Gloria!"
"Well, I'm just being caring. You know ... like I'm supposed to."
"Yeah, well that's lovely. Thank you. I'm all fine. I'll tell you when I'm not."
"I'm sure you will!"
