ACPOA parking in Reading station today. A classic example of how to make a new mum cry. Stopped in one of three vacant disabled spaces to let my daughter and 11 week old baby out of the car. Shouted at by staff member which made my daughter cry. No common sense and compassion

Remember that diet needs to be optimised

Those dealing with cancer survivors of all ages should look at ESPEN guidelines. Cannot look at nutrition without exercise. Challenge !!
