Treatment
Hi fellow crew of the GB bobsled team and family supporters. Well yesterday was interesting, had two appointments for two separate issues – had my radio/chemo treatment in the morning so was there for 0830, but my typical luck the machine was playing up so was lying on the bed with my mask on for …
