I have a new life-threatening condition, and it's not cancer. My new condition was picked up in a CT scan done at the end of chemotherapy. This CT was done to re-stage my cancer, but what it actually did was save my life. I have a blood clot, in the lungs. It turns out that cancer is an independent risk factor for developing blood clots. This means that cancer alone predisposes someone to developing a clot. Cancer treatments like surgery and chemotherapy also increase the chances that someone will develop a clot. Read the full blog post at: http://benbbrave.blogspot.com/

Hi everyone, c-vivor is a QLD site where you can find activities for cancer patients. I've joined up for 'box for life' at newstead, brisbane on saturdays for health and friendship, even though its only once a week, its still an outing. Fingers crossed my first session should be this week. Go and have a look, there are activities at Broadbeach, Southport, Townsville, Warwick, Toowoomba, Beaudessert, Airlie Beach, Redcliffe and many more areas looking for volunteers and leaders for activities.

yesterday was absolutely the worst day ive had in a while. sometimes i dont feel that i have a place within my own family and im viewed as the "problem solver". even tho i know thats not the case and im very much loved some times i need to just step back and deal with my own needs and as soon as i try... someone has a problem and the want my help.

Just thought I would share how great it has been to have had a couple of ordinary days in a row. My wife thought so as well.

so we went back to visit the radiation oncologist yesterday... and my dad has dropped more weight. i have started to see some improvement tho, he started asking for the sustagen shakes again. something he hasnt wanted in over a month now. now when i say hasnt wanted... i mean he will throw things at me just for suggesting it. so for him to ask me to start making it again is a huge thing 😛

I just want a place to record the moments with my friend, because I don't know how many more we will have. Today, she looked almost the same.
