Hey everyone...I havent blogged for a while but not much has been happening with me so I havent really got alot to write about. Treatment going well and I'm feeling well so thats great!! I am blogging about an issue which has been playing on my mind for a while.

I have to mix the gastro with a pint of cold water…
