Facing the future: Together

  • Early August Update

    Things have been going ok for Dal since he came out of hospital, he has had some swelling on his knee which is unexplained, but an ultrasound on his entire leg proved that no blood clots were present, so we continue to monitor this. 

    We took a camping trip to Somerset, just a long weekend, it is amazing what a short trip away can do to make you feel better about life in general. 

    Treatment continues - just about to start…

  • 4th July 2022 ... A trip to the Hospital. -updated - Again

    It's been a while since I wrote in the blog, mainly because things continued smoothly and there were no real updates to give.

    All Dal's bloods are good, actually they are amazing, based…

  • Early April update

    Just a quick update 

    March Echo scan seemed to go ok, (waiting on oncologist to phone and let us know more)  and still waiting on CT scan appointment which seem to be taking longer now, we imagine this is caused by the backlog of Covid and lockdown.

    Dal still has occasional glitches when eating, (which I think I find more scary than he does) and still has nosebleeds a few days after treatment, this is one of his main on…

  • General Update - treatment continues

    Another Month has passed every day is a miracle 

    Treatment continues and we will get an update from the oncologist in a couple of weeks on how things are going, but for Dal, everything is good. 

    It is true that occasionally there are some food issues when eating, which almost always invovles chicken and still Dal experiences the occasional nose bleed after treatment, but considering everything that he has been through…
