Waiting for the Bell: Approaching the First Big Milestone — Part Three
The First ScansBy Alexander Ryan
Length1h 10m
About this audiobook
In Part Three of Waiting for the Bell, chemotherapy grows more familiar but no less demanding. A rushed treatment session prompts Alex to speak up; grief arrives with the loss of Uncle Roy; and the accumulating effects of treatment sit alongside family, work, the barge, a growing coffee shop in Thailand and the stubborn comedy of ordinary life. As scans draw closer, fear returns in quieter form, yet so does an unexpected, practical happiness—not a denial of illness, but an attention to what still matters. Candid, reflective and threaded with dry humour, this instalment reaches the first MRI and CT milestone with the results, and the next direction, still unknown.
