Thanks for your reply and yeah I know because I have been a member of the oral cancer foundation for years and yeah the response on their site is very different from this one which is why I have reacted the way I have but still like I said why can't we just say hello to make someone feel good on their dark journey through cancer that's all I am saying.

Everyday is amazing for me because I made peace with myself when I was going through treatment live or die I was at peace with what ever happened because there was nothing I could do anyway so why stress and that's with a partner and kids and 1 grandson so now 5yrs on and I am grateful and so happy for everyday and also right in the present that for me cancer was a blessing as strange as that sounds so yeah peace to you.

Thanks for your reply and yeah I know we all handle it differently but some have 100 views which could be a hundred hellos that would make all the change in the world as opposed to just seeing 100 views and no reply it takes next to nothing to type hello to make someone feel better that's all I am saying.

I don't know if it is just me but I have to say that this is one of the most depressing sites I have seen the responses to people that need help or advice is lack lustre to say the least I mean come on people where is the Aussie spirit when it gets tough the tough get going it seems that we crumble or we retreat into ourselves come on I know that by putting this up hopefully I will get responses even if it is negative and just before I go I am not just saying this as someone who hasn't been through it and if we don't have each other then who do we have we are all in this club whether we like it or not so how about we make the best of it by leaning on each other talking to each other even just to say hello!!!!

Yeah John that was my idea too do just what you said but I didn't realise how hard it would be in the last 5yrs I have been in only one relay for life and just this one affected me in ways I didn't think it would and the survivor and carer march is the first one and I tell you that was an experience and a half me and my partner walking around the oval while people are cheering and clapping for us in relation too something at the time felt very personal was indescribable and just too put this in perspective I am an indigenous man who's life before cancer was a very closed and personal one and now after cancer it has made me so more open and accessible too myself and then too others its still a work in progress but i'm getting there and I firmly believe in preventative ways so people can get the info before they get a diagnosis and thanks for responding I appreciate it much love and peace too you and family!!!!

Hey John very sorry too hear about your dad and I totally understand what your saying about our minds and I feel that you have too be in the moment and focus on what is happening right in front of you or your emotions will get the better of you and you will miss completely what is also a part of your life be it with cancer or without the point is we are all in it together but I think it has too do with what you believe in myself I am a man of nature and evolution so when I made peace with myself while in treatment I really did so much love and peace too you and your dad.

Hello thanks for the reply and yes your right and sometimes I can just shoot from the hip and I know that its hard even in places like this where there is a lot of different types of cancer and I was feeling overwhelmed myself just reading some posts and I just reacted and places like this are a godsend irrelevant of what it can feel or look like it is what it is a place for people that are facing their own mortality and everyone's reaction will be their own so much love and peace too all!!!!

Hello Paul and thanks for the reply and yes I am very fortunate with my outcome thus far but also very grateful for the last 5yrs even with all the pain and misery I wouldn't change a thing because everything I went through brought me here and right now despite everything that could be seen as a negative I could safely say I am one of the most happiest men in the world and the fact is I had too go through hell to get here but I am not a religious man but I am spiritual and with that I will sign off by saying its easy being negative when you think everything is going wrong but just stop and try too be positive and it will literally change your life peace!!!!
