&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Does anyone have any suggestions?&amp;nbsp; Thanks&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/aggbug?PostID=371040&amp;AppID=18264&amp;AppType=Weblog&amp;ContentType=0" width="1" height="1"&gt;</content><author><name>Former Member</name><uri>https://community.macmillan.org.uk/members/formermember</uri></author><category term="radiotherapy" scheme="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-blogs/b/sam_c/archive/tags/radiotherapy" /></entry></feed>
