Commercial Fisherman: Radiation Therapists

German Immigrant Dept: My daily visits to the lead-lined room have mercifully come to an end, according to Vancouver Sun. The radiation therapists were great, damping down the anxiety levels with their cheerful good humour. So were the fellow travellers with whom I swapped war stories in the waiting room. There was the commercial fisherman, the chef, the retired chief petty officer from the Navy, the former hospital board member, the onetime management executive from the Prairies, the German immigrant who regaled me with pickle recipes and last in a four-part series Not that the visit itself was particularly onerous. I've actually sailed through my seven weeks of radiation treatments at the B.C. Cancer Clinic relatively unscathed. In fact, "it doesn't get any better than this," one of my radiation oncologists beamed after a checkup to assess expected side-effects and their discomforts. As reported in the news.
