Dear everyone, It is amazing how fast the time goes. A year has passed since I started this project to help building www.cancerconnections.com.au. The time to move into another projects has arrived. I will still continue visiting the site every now and then to say hello.

I've been through cancer treatment and have come out the other side. I've made some vast changes in the way I live my life, but there's one area where I remain stuck and I don't know how to get unstuck without hurting anybody. I fear if I remain stuck, I will be the one I hurt most. Since going through treatment, my partner and I have grown apart. Actually, more accurately, I have grown and he remains where he has always been since I met him 12 years ago. When we first got together, it was all rushed and I didn't really have a chance to get to know him that well.

“That’s not a real cancer” came floating down the telephone line from a colleague. I had ‘phoned her because I had a call from another colleague to tell me that if I wanted to see Joyce again I had better hurry up, she had advanced cancer and was in a wheelchair.

Hi Butterfly, Sailor & all members, Thank you all for your support. I have been popping in and out of this site, I haven't had time to respond, sorry about that. Wazz, is having a few problems with his treatment. He's still on Cisplatin & Gemcitabine chemotherapy. He's now finished four of his six cycles, two to go. He's only ever completed one of the four cycles. Problems with his blood.

Dear everyone, I was just looking at the stats and noticed that we are only 4 people away from reaching 1000. I think it is very important to see how every day we are reaching more and more people affected by cancer. Let's remember that there are more than 100,000 people diagnosed with cancer every year in Australia and that our community makes a difference in all the people that are part of it in a very difficult time of life. I will post more details on how wide in Australia we are reaching once I am back in the office Raul
