Day 4 Frank up, showered, shaved and dressed. No pain or discomfort. Feels sick but medication takes care of that. He is not eating. Had a bit of runny tummy but has cleared up.

Hi Jackie

Just wanted to welcome you and your Mum. Sorry you've had to join us. It does all sound so grim at diagnosis, but at least they are on your Mum's case. I'm sure she will do well. The important thing is to stay positive – there is lots they can do.

Best wishes to all the family.
