by lunchtime, yvonne has had a ct scan and dr claire hart can see where the problem is.this service has seen the average survival rate increase by six months and the quality of life improve, while freeing up valuable nhs beds. you don't want to be here. don't get me wrong. but if you've got to come to a place, this is it. robert had his treatment here earlier this year. so nice to see you up and about. when i saw you last time you were in the bed. it's lovely. a scan found cancer on the spine, but it took further tests to work out he also had cancer of the esophagus. the original shock was horrendous. i'm not a softie. i had tears in my eyes, it was really awful. and there's no easy way to tell somebody. i mean, you just say you've got cancer. but it's a massive word. robert knew he was on borrowed time. once he was home and back on his feet, he made a big decision. he got down on one knee in front of my three boys and their wives. and four grandchildren. and proposed. and she said yes. i left him in hospital with big, wide eyes, having just been told he can't be cured.
