What a fantastic month June has been!
Dal weighed in at 13st 10 & 1/8th up 2lb since last time such a good sign. He continues to take Lansoprazole 30mg but only once a day as apposed to the two a day he had been taking in May.

After having such a good month in June, we have been waiting patiently for this morning to come... it has been quicker than we thought it would be, but it has been extremely stressful. Restless nights, brain working overtime, thinking of the 'what ifs'.

He found this the most uncomfortable…
What a week! waiting for today to come 12th May 2020, watching the clock, counting down the hours. Dal had been told last week on discharge to call the hospital or the Clinical nurse at lunch time if he had not been contacted regarding the results.
We have four daughters, one lives with us with her partner and their two children, the other three live very close and have family of their own, in all we are the proud grandparents…
