Along with my partner, I met a new health worker last week – an oncologist.
I felt a now familiar mix of dread and hope as we listened to what he had to say.
His efficient approach was a breath of fresh air compared to the disorganised communication we've had with other medics.
In drought-stricken Eastern Africa, where children are dying, nobody cares much about how doctors communicate.
All that matters is that they save lives. Please sign the petition to help.
I'm tagging Liz, Tara, Becky, Laura and Erica to blog about this too.





It's these qualities that are so important isn't it. xx

Thank you so very very much for your support. Perfect post. Few words say it all. How lucky we are. Best wishes to you and hope this oncologist continues to be a breathe of fresh air.

Ohh Linda, I so wish you did not have to meet that Oncologist but I am thrilled that there is someone who can help.
Very honoured to have you blog on here and to tag such great bloggers.
My prayers are with you all.
Thank you sincerely. Mich x
