What we actually talk about at the cancer clinic

Snippets of conversations you can hear at the cancer clinic:

Chemo Doctor: Did you receive treatment yesterday?
Me: Yes. I had brachythterapy.
Doctor: And how are you now?
Me: I'm in some pain.
Doctor: Well, you'll have to take that up with the radiation oncologist because that's got nothing to do with me.
Me: That's helpful. Thanks.

Me in the brachytherapy room; legs stretched into stirrups, partially sedated, "Uh, do I still have to have a CT scan?"
Nurse: Yes.
Me: In this room?
Nurse: No, down the hall.
Me: You're not going to roll me down the hallway with my legs in the air, are you?
Nurse: <laughs> No one's ever asked me that before.
Me: ARE YOU?
Nurse: <laughs harder> No.
Me: Thank Jesus.
