Hi young survivors :) Great to see you on line and read your thoughts. I am keen to work towards producing a young adult specific Living Well After Cancer program that would be run by trained cancer survivors and the Cancer Council NSW. I would love to hear from you as to what you would like to see in the content? If I set up a survey online would that assist OR is it better to use this format? Mags 🙂 ... View more

Arent we humans amazing when we put our mind to something? I think its great with what you are doing as long as you are being kind to yourself and focusing on what you can do with acceptance and not what you cant. Studying is challenging for anyone in the beginning. All the learned behaviour that is necessary can take its toll. Many many people feel laboured with it even when they have not been through what you have. Be kind to yourself, give yourself permission to take it as easy as you can, and above all celebrate "you" every single day. Warmest wishes for a peaceful easter and sending lots of energy your way. ... View more

I think the key is to listen to your body and go slowly. Perhaps just a walk around the block to test things out and if that is too much do half. Give yourself a rest every second day and most importantly focus on what you can do not what you cant. How long since your tretament has finished? Cheers, Mags ... View more

There are so many different types of chemo and so many different side effects. The person I was caring for changed all the time, however some consistent things were plain steamed Basmati rice, clear homemade chicken broth drunk in small amounts all day, clean fresh tasting things and salty potato chips. Sometimes if mouth ulcers are present then yoghurt, jelly and again clear broths are good. Also ice blocks like Frosty Fruits were always good although the sweetness was sometimes too much. Welcome to your family Cheers, Mags ... View more
