Helena Handbasket

To continue the five-year old story which began on 9th November;
After I had recovered from the life-saving surgery it was decided that to secure my long-term survival I should undergo a course of radiotherapy, and this had to take place miles away in Thessaloniki where I didn't know a soul. I am fairly gregarious and I do have a pretty funky wardrobe, I also like to dress appropriately for any unusual situation in which I find myself. These therefore are the trousers I selected for my first day in the external beam accelerator on Monday 23rd January 2012. I suppose I had in the back of my mind the hope that these trousers might attract other patients undergoing similar treatment and encourage them to strike up a lively conversation, hopefully in my own language.

Little did I know five years ago how these specific dates would come to match so exactly the current Great American Travesty Tragedy  .  .  .  to be continued
