Unfortunately things are really bad for us now, Martin is so poorly. They removed the 2 small tumours from his lungs last May but when they opened him up to remove the tumour from his liver they found it was twisted around blood vessels which deemed it inoperable.

They gave him about 5 lots of chemo, which should have been done every other week but due to his low white blood cell count it ended up being every…

Martin rang our GP on Friday who said he had been in contact with the Oncology Dept at Northampton for us, but unfortunately had been unable to get us an update because the doctor he needed to speak to is off sick.

After all his previous ops he has bounced back & by day 3 he is frothing at the mouth to get them to discharge him. He isn't one to moan, he doesn't like to bother or worry anyone, so I know he is def feeling poorly - this time they didn't actually remove the tumour, they've said it's…
