Do you ever think what might have caused the lung cancer?

Well I don’t really know. I mean even the specialist said that, I said to him “What have I done?” I mean I know smoking doesn’t help but I mean he said it’s not only smoking, he said it could be other things like food or you know like in the air or like from exhaust from cars and, nobody can put their finger on it I don’t think.

What did you say to him?

I said, “Well I always thought it was hereditary but theres no cancer in our family at all.” Chest weve all, I mean my son has got emphysema but no theres no cancer in our family. My mother died of her chest but there you are.

How do you feel about losing your hair?

Oh I’m not bothered now, I was at first, oh I wouldn’t speak to nobody, I wouldn’t open the door to my daughter. I was in a right state. Anyway I’ve got over that.

You have a very smart turban?

Have you?

It’s lovely. They give you those do they?

Yes.
