A month or so of furlough, and all that unspent energy, and still firing blanks, must be soul-destroying.

Very patchy, some not getting surgery and I think they are going to give triple doses of radiotherapy for one week after 'new research' has found it just as effective. They'e been doing it in three week courses for decades, I'm a little surprised they haven't tried cramming it into a week before now.

Cancer treatment has become a postcode lottery with many patients not receiving vital care as a result of the coronavirus outbreak, doctors have warned.
Leading oncologists have said that even those patients in category one and two priority, the highest for continuing treatment, are not receiving chemotherapy.
The NHS said non-urgent operations would have to be put on hold so hospitals could focus on battling the Covid-19 pandemic, and NHS England guidance states that cancer services should continue to deliver care. However, it also calls for “local solutions to continue the proper management of these cancer services while protecting resources for the response to coronavirus”.
Prof Karol Sikora, the chief medical officer at Rutherford Health, which runs oncology centres, said the advice provided by NHS England around cancer was sensible but was being “implemented inconsistently” around the country.
“That is always the trouble – it becomes inconsistent, so people getting chemotherapy have now had it stopped even though they are category one and two patients, the highest priority. Also some hospitals have put blanket bans on cancer treatment for two to three weeks ... Not everyone needs to rush ahead with cancer treatment but others need to continue despite this to get the best long-term cure,” he said.
