Hi Cindi,  still dont have much energy to get out and about just yet, hopefully not too far away. Sounds like youre a bit all over the place at the moment, i really feel for you. Next week sounds a bit daunting so i hope you can get through it without too many issues. You are right Cindi, were both better off than some people, especially young kids who are stuck in hospital, not knowing what a normal healthy life is. Like you, im missing the things that truly make me happy. Like going surfing. Theres nothing better than paddling out at an uncrowded beach in the early morning light, feeling the warm glow of the sun on my face. It really is my happy place. I will get back there one day.  I can understand why you too love the beach and the water. Keep your spirit up ok. Good luck next week. Talk soon, Greg ox ... View more

Hi Cindi, Thankfully the side effects have settled down, started feeling a bit better on Sunday, im finally starting to get my appetite back. Seen my specialist yesterday for a follow up and im a bit more positive about things after speaking with him. Good news is i dont need anymore treatment, just monthly blood tests and he will see me again in three months to see if theres any improvement. Its really great to not have to visit the hospital for a while, that was getting me down. How are things with you Cindi? Hope you are going ok and staying positive. Chat soon, and thankyou for your message. Thinking of you, Greg xx ... View more

hi cindi, had the SIRT treatment thursday, it was the worst day of my life. Havnt eaten or slept since wednesday, vomiting every couple of hours, and have horrendous burning pain in my liver. I wouldnt wish this on anyone. Only positive is there is no more treatment for 3 months when i will have scans done to see if theres any improvement. Have to see my doctor on monday just to go over everything. So, im not in a good place at the moment. How have you been? Hope things are going ok. Thanks for checking in, Greg xx ... View more

OMG your story has bought me to tears. Im so sorry. I will say a prayer for you and get back to you soon, i myself just got home from hospital and just got a call from interventional advising me my first treatment date is next Friday. Take care and all the best mate. Greg ... View more

Sounds like a good idea Cindi, maybe one day when were both on the mend we could catch up. Id like to meet you, and say thankyou for all your support and encouragement, its all appreciated so much. Ill keep you posted, good luck Thursday, you,ll be in my thoughts. Talk soon, Greg xox ... View more

Hi Cindi, just an update, i think i mentioned i had my work up procedure done last week, well i was hoping to start my treatment this week but not to be. I have to go back in again on Thursday so they can do it all again on the other side of the liver. Its got me thinking that maybe they cant do the treatment on the bad side, so looking for other options. So, im not in a good head space today. How are you doing? I hope everything is good with you. Have you had your big day of chemo yet? Has your infection cleared up so you can go ahead? All the best ok,  lets keep our chins up. Greg ... View more

Hi Cindi, Greg here, well i got the work up procedure done yesterday. Just at home resting up today. Thankfully this time they got me in early, i was on the table ready to go at 9.50am. The needle in the groin was no fun, and despite a bit of a loss of dignity it went well. And back home by 4.30. I wasnt put to sleep as they needed me to do breathing and holding my breath, so only really had some mild sedation. Its  amazing what they can do these days. I think you sent Jennifer a message saying you didnt get your chemo done ( it came to me too ) due to your infection? That could be a relief or a setback as you you said you were dreading it. Im dreading mine too. Hope you are well, take care, Greg xox ... View more

Thanks so much for that Jennifer, im at home resting today after finally getting it done. They got me in early, so the little voices in my head didnt get a chance to start talking to me. The procedure itself went well, the doctor seems to think it might be manageable if the SIRT treatment works. Fingers crossed. Hope you are well. Greg xx ... View more

And all the best on Thursday. Ill be thinking of you.xx ... View more

Thanks so much for your words of encouragement Cindi, i really appreciate you taking the time. This is the first real medical scare ive ever had, so im still in the shock stage i think. And thr fear of the unknown is spinning me out. My partner has been coming with me, but as its a long day she comes home after they call me in. This time she is going to ask if she can stay with me after im prepped and dressed and stay until im called. It will help a lot as the waiting is the worse time. Yes 8am is early but i was there at 8 the last time and i still wasnt done at 2pm. When you are fasting from midnight its really hard. Hopefully i can get it over with a bit earlier on Wednesday. She is bringing cable ties to secure me to the bed so i cant go anywhere. Serious lol. The Daintree sounds beautiful and serene, i can see why youd love to go there. Ive done a lot of surfing over the years, pretty much since i was 15. Never been overseas but have been to lots of beautiful beaches and coast here, so i hope i can get through this and see many more. Take good care of yourself ok, and thankyou again for your support. It really means a lot. I will let you know how things go on Wednesday. Bye for now xx ... View more
