    Hi Phil
    Good to hear you are doing so well. Its very encouraging to hear. Are you having dialysis? mum is having it 3 times a week. She has only had one chemo injection at the moment as it affected her liver. They are hoping to restart treatment this week if her bloods are ok.
    Thank you for your message xx
