Facing the future: Together

  • Scan 16th September

    We didn't expect a phone call from the hospital so quickly after the scan yesterday, 16th September.

    This afternoon Dal was called and informed that although it doesn't look it is too much to worry about, but they have noticed some spots on his lungs.
