However due to the unexpected arrival of the dreadful Covid-19 pandemic his surgery was cancelled.<\/p>\n<p>As you can imagine Malcolm and his family were devastated, but then he was offered Radiotherapy as an alternative and possibly as a curative treatment.<\/p>\n<p>We are now delighted to send our best wishes to Malcolm on his successful treatment.\u00a0 Thank you to Malcolm and his family for the donation to the OPA. The family even purchased a new bell for Malcolm to ring at the end of his radiotherapy.\u00a0 What an amazing story &#8230;&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We send our best wishes to Amy Shackleton and her family and a huge thank you for their kind&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":16187,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-16186","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorised"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Thank you for the donation and story!
