Re: Review of my Journey so far -> ⓊⓟⒹⒶⓉⒺ June 26/2019

I have just spent two days in hospital, I have been under the control of a senior cardiologist for over four years. I remember an onc...

Re: I think I broke my gallbladder...

I was checked several time in the years following my cancer treatment with no positive results . Then a little black ...
