Hi Scott,   I was in your shoes eleven years ago. It's quite a journey working out what's next!    During my journey I started doing art therapy which helped me to quieten my mind and I found out I had creative talents! Such a surprise!    I had to find ways to get back into living mode. So I researched activities that I had always wanted to do, ticked off a few more things from my bucket list.    I had a qualification in Life Coaching so I registered my business! I started doing small contract jobs.    Then did a couple of  short courses. I was preparing myself to get a job by starting temp work. In the meantime I did gardening,  read, exercised, rested and took charge of continuing my good health.   It's all about changing your perspective from one to the other. From dieing to living,  I'm not saying it's easy and a quick fix, it's not.    My advice to you make a list of things you want to do, journal - it helps with mental health and take one day at a time. Breathe.    Please reach out if you would like to chat.   Sending you good vibes for a good life 😊 ... View more

Hi Scott1,   I just read your post. I know it's been a while and I hope you have made some progress in your search.    I too was told make the most of the good times and thank God I made it.    I was shocked too but I believe it's about perspective, looking at your situation from another angle.    I saw a psychologist all through my journey and that helped me alot. I read books, did art therapy via Cancer Council and that is what turned my life around.    There are many options, some people prefer group counselling,  some one on one, others do art, or gardening.  It just depends on what you prefer.    My best advice to you is to take one step at a time.  It's my 14th year since I was told. I'm still making the most of the time I have.    Wishing you the best.  ... View more

Hi,  I would recommend to see your Gp and get a referral to see a podiatrist. You can get a health care plan to see a podiatrist for five visits through Medicare.    Also you can try magnesium cream and massage your feet. It really helps me.    Let me know how you go. ... View more
