Hi Andy and of course the family and extended family of Our Dai.
Yes I spent a lot of Today thinking about Our Dai and the strength,wisdom and knowledge he passed onto to us all even when he wasn’t so well himself.
That and all you others that helped and are still helping is a great strength to us going through our treatment.
Our Dai will be up…[Read more]

Hi Eve
Well for me I think NICE has got too tight a hold on the why's and wherefore of peoples treatment.
I don't know how many are on the NICE panel nor how much they get paid?? but that must be coming off the central funds, I say let our Dr's and Consultants say what treatment is best for us.
