'Lansley must listen to nurses on the front line' OPINION
Talking testes in the supermarket aisle
I helped a 77-year-old man with prostate cancer.
He had an orchidectomy, then went home to live with his daughter. A few weeks later, I saw the daughter and her children in the supermarket. Trying to avoid a public conversation about her dad’s sensitive condition, I moved to the next aisle, only to find his angelic looking nine-year-old granddaughter staring at me, then shouting: “Look mum - it’s definitely that man who looked after granddad when he had his balls chopped off!”
