You know, you can feel a bit intimidated really. So, it’d be nice to have a chat with somebody my age, see how they cope, if they’ve got kids as well or with their jobs, you know, how they’ve managed. (Kelly) So despite the ‘advantages’ of Kelly’s slightly older age, her greater level of independence and maturity, she still experienced feelings of isolation, believing that she was the only young mother to be undergoing such an illness and treatment. The stresses of being treated on an inappropriate ward were reflected on by Deborah, a staff nurse on the TCT ward: People who had been on adult wards at times said that it was depressing and miserable to be surrounded by old people dying .
I thought you had to be a lot older. When they told me testicular cancer was most common between 13 and 25 [I was really surprised] nobody had ever mentioned that. (Mark) Some of the cancers were diagnosed almost by accident; it was only chance that led Adrian, an apprentice of 18, to seek medical treatment for an injury as he had been unaware of any worrying symptoms: It was lucky that I actually come across it, because I was at work and I had an accident . . ’ And that’s when they picked it up, so they said if I hadn’t had the accident, I wouldn’t have found out about it.
And he said it could have been a number of things. I think one of his diagnoses was it could be flu . . but I think I would have known if I had flu, wouldn’t I? Anyway they sent me for some blood [tests] and they said, ‘Come back in a month, blah, blah . ’ So that’s what I did. But I started to get more [tired] and I mean I was working at the time as well and I had the little one. And I did start to feel more tired but l just put it down to having a child, you know, running round after them.
