The pace in which things happen when you go through the process of being diagnosed with a cancer is intense. In the space of a few weeks, I’d clocked up 3 appointments per week, with the routine being something like:

• Appointment 1: Some form of scan/biopsy
• Appointment 2: Some form of consultation
• Appointment 3: Results from scan/biopsy, and request for extra examinations

It felt like the ultimate test in multitasking and time management. I would be in the office in the morning, shoot off to either Charing Cross, or Marylebone for a few hours, then come back to finish up the rest of my day. Piece of cake!
