A little update on Ray’s cancer journey ❤️
We’ve had a lovely day out with the family, enjoying a great meal together followed by a walk around Framlingham Castle. It was extra special as we were celebrating our daughter Hannah getting her new job at a law firm and buying her first home 🏡❤️ — so many happy things to celebrate!
Now, though, our minds are turning back to next Wednesday, when Ray will be going into hospital for his bone marrow transplant. We’re currently at the hospital having Ray’s bloods checked and talking through what to expect next week. I think we’re all feeling quite worried about what’s ahead.
I know Ray will get through it with his positive attitude and, of course, all the love and support from his family and friends ❤️ He’s already been through so much, but the thought of him being in hospital for around a month is going to be really hard for all of us.
One of the biggest problems is that Ray really can’t stand the smell or taste of the hospital food, so I’m hoping you lovely lot might have some ideas! 🥰
We’re allowed to take food in but aren’t allowed to heat it up, so I’m thinking of buying a couple of food flasks. If anyone has any suggestions for foods that are good cold or can be kept warm in a food flask, I’d really appreciate your ideas.
Thank you, as always, for all your messages, love and support. It really does mean so much to us ❤️ xx.
