"My father drives me to the hospital as Andrea works early today. We arrive at the department of urology. Check in like always. Normal business. When I arrive at the ward on the second floor I learn that there is no room and no bed left for me.

We have to leave again and move to another building with a satellite part of the department of urology. It's a two minutes drive from the central building.

The building itself is older. It looks a little bit run down, not as newly refurbished as the other one. Still the nurses are very friendly. They are all completely unknown to me. It's like another hospital.

"The condition of my mouth has become worse since the weekend. It hurts and I fear that I caught a sore throat or something similar because swallowing is very difficult. Andrea and I decide that a visit to an ear, nose and throat doctor would be best.

"I slept quite well; went to bed early yesterday and fell asleep almost in minutes; woke up even before the alarm clock went off. It is the day when I should go back to the hospital again. Funny enough I remember a dream I had last night:

"The sore throat is getting better slowly, so is the cold. I am quite sure that it is also due to my being at home and no longer in the hospital.

Today I am going to address an issue which has now become relevant again. The question about getting infertile as a side effect of the chemotherapy - or better: the question whether or not to freeze some of my sperm for a certain period of time just to be sure. As the chemotherapy will obviously not commence before the weekend, probably even later, I would have a chance to see a gynaecologist or a cryotechnical expert.
