Sadly had some news on Wednesday, that my Dad has been diagnosed with lung cancer. He had bowl cancer 15 years ago, so l have been threw these emotions before. This time is hard for a lot of people 
to the pandemic and can't visit family due to Lockdown. I am currently Sheilding which makes me feel more vulnerable and not had the vaccine yet, l feel all l can do is ring them up daily get ove the initial shock first and keep strong and postive. As my dad can only have basic treatment due to other health issues as he does have CPOD already.
