Hey Teach ... good to hear things are ok for now. The art therapy sounds fantastic and it is used at milroy house as one of the activities available to those staying there for treatment. Great success with it also. I might need to have a chat to you at some stage about something that i have in the thought process. 🙂 Julie xo ... View more

Katie You are not naive, you are someone who is seeking out answers to things you dont know and thats fantastic! I got tired from radio too, although i am finding that is worse post treatment than during. Apparently i was exceptional during my treatment as i havent suffered the side effects that most people do. I think the key to getting through this is communication ... you just need to find the right people to communicate with. Those onco blokes are pretty clever people, i think. :) Julie ... View more

Hey Jill Wonderful that you had such a lovely couple of days. 😄 Those day spa things sound great and i am thinking that everyone who is affected by cancer needs a voucher to one of those. Julie xo ... View more

Hi Katie I can share with you my experience with treatment. I had chemotherapy which was ok and i felt quite good. I had some problems with vomiting but i just mentioned that to my onco bloke and he would change medication and that was fixed. The nausea only lasted a couple of days for me. Radiotherpy i hated and i am left with quite a few side effects from that and the monoclonal therapy i had also. So, it is different for everyone. 🙂 Your dad just needs to keep talking to his onco bloke. You could tell your dad about the cancer council help line 13 11 20. It sounds as if he wants to talk which is fantastic. Great that he has you although hard on you at times i am sure. You can access the helpline also if you feel the need. Dont be a martyr and try and do this on your own. we all need to be able to talk and offload at times. :) Oh, i think "relatively well" is a good term to use for cancer treatment! It is not a picnic nor a walk in the park but it helps us to survive so we do it. Take care Julie ... View more
