Well Nitrous Oxide plus oxygen is a wonderful mix I have to say. I don't think I've ever felt so relaxed, relieved, and happy in my whole life.
Although that is probably also due to the fact the medical procedure I underwent today went far more successfully, easily, and painlessly than I ever could have imagined.
And a ticking time bomb that may never have come to light until it was far too late, if it wasn't for all these scans, has probably been completely successfully removed.
All this was secondary to the suspected cancerous spot on my lung, the process for that still remains to be undergone, but I think this at least means that any potential Big C has not spread from my lung, and that they don't think the other area treated today was even related to my lung.
It's weird how what initially was very frightening and worrying news, may in fact turn out to be life saving, and something that could extend my life expectancy well beyond what it would have been, if these things had never been discovered.
I think that's the case with what happened today, but it would be very premature to say the same about the more serious lung spot.
They haven't even established what it is yet, although it is suspected to be malignant and I've been put on a 2 month escalated treatment list, so it's being taken seriously.
For all the berating the NHS gets, I have found them absolutely amazing throughout all of this, with the professionalism and speed with which all the steps and processes have been taken.
Hospital services for potentially serious issues seem to be much better than the services provided by my GP practice, I don't think they have been doing anywhere near as well in so many different ways, they have been poor quite a few times.
