One week on since I was told I had cancer

If nobody had told me last Friday that I had cancer I would be none the wiser. I look fit and healthy.

I am trying to keep positive. I am in contact be email with 2 out of 3 of my estranged children. My mother (300 lies away is worried) but my wife is being as supportive as ever.

I am waiting for the operation to remove my neck lump (lymph node) and then wait for the results before starting treatment. The treatment has a high success rate but I will be out of circulation for a few months I reckon.

I have not told my students yet but don't quite know how to approach this.

As Eric Idle said - always look on the bright side of life do do do do do do do ......
