Hey Dave I am the same re fb ... provides a distraction and allows me to stay in touch with the world (sort of). Ahhh dont stress about talking about yourself. That is what this is about, it gives us an opportunity to do so and to talk to others. Having cancer and treatment makes us a little self absorbed i think, least thats my observation of myself from time to time. 🙂 Have a raging easterly here which i am over already and they have only just started. lol Hope you have a good swim.

Hiya Dave It is natural to feel down sometimes and absolutely normal after what you have gone through. Just hang in there and it will get better. You are good re thinking of getting back to work. I am only just considering that now as I have been suffering from fatigue after the treatment. You are coming down after the high of getting through your treatment ... just be kind to yourself. how did you go with the pool did you get it all sparkling? I ate a lot of icecream as I went through treatment. If i felt my tongue burning after a zap then i would grab an icecream. Drank a lot of ice cold water, not sure if it all helped but i managed to come out relatively unscathed. I don't see aggi at charlies and have heard she is pretty out there. Got given one of her handouts when I first went there and it was a very strict regime. I see someone else there and he is great. What do you mean by talking 1 sided? Take care and hope you have a good day. Julie ... View more

Hi Dave Everything is ok here thanks. I forgot to mention to you not to forget about jelly .... great for sliding down the throat. :) THe feeling of being forgotten is not an isolated feeling. A lot of people feel that way and really struggle after being under the umbrella of a hospital and daily treatment. Are you at freo for your ENT? I am up there next week for a clinic appointment and at charlies the day before for dental. If you click on groups up the top of this page and then go into the head and neck group, from there you should be able to either create a new post or tag on the end of another post and just put it in there. :) How are you travelling at the mo?

Hi Kate Thank you for letting us know. I felt very sad on reading of vinouche's passing and hope that her family are travelling ok as possible in this difficult time for them. I have just reread some of the interaction that I had with vinouche and I am glad I was able to chat to vinouche and discuss some of the issues we all face. Glad that vinouche was able to give me input. We can give one another support in a very unique way and for that I am thankful. Thank you again, Kate. Warm Regards Julie ... View more

Thank you reindeer, it was wonderful and I was very proud of him. His ponytail was nearly as long as mine albeit a lot thicker. I am sure the money raised will do good also. As far as I know it goes towards the ronald mcdonald houses where parents and kids can stay during their illness. I saw it on tv once and it looked really great. thanks again Julie xx ... View more

Hi bev Thats great that you get a debriefing and very necessary too. It is great that people can have a place to go and just chat, sometimes it makes all the difference to have someone to talk to who understand what they are going through. Well done on your behalf. Julie ... View more
