Update

[#1]

Hey All Just thought Id give you an update. Ive had 5 Treatments now with Beta (my new best friend) radiotherapy at Toowoomba. The staff are awesome, my oncologist (who I am teaching Aussie Slang) is lovely. Im applying my cream religiously, my skin around my neck is going a little pink now but no signs of dry mouth, loss of taste etc. I hate the mask, I just try to think of some where nice when it is on, keep you updated Leesa

I am wondering whether Malcolm may have been referring to a slang expresion of a yank? Trying to think what it is called and can't remember. Cockney rhyming I think??

Hi Everyone, It appears there may have been some misunderstanding here. Malcolm, I assume you were in fact using the term 'septic tank' as in 'yank' or 'American'? Beautylee, I can understand how you may feel that you have been disrespected if you did not understand why Malcolm used the language he did. Can I please ask everyone to be mindful of what is said to one another and to not use unclear or abusive language.
