Hi Linda Thats fantastic re the ball ... sorry have been meaning to reply to this one for ages. When i stayed at Milroy i donated a heap of things (face creams and such that i can buy wholesale) and they raffled it off for melby cup i think. Plus they stuck some wine and other bits that people had donated. The woman that won it got a nice basket full of goodies. Julie ... View more

Hi Linda, Good news to hear about your friend and good advice to tell her not to wait 12 months if she is worried. I guess it's a small relief/comfort to you that your sister is feeling good with her nausea not too overwhelming. However the news from the surgeon probably takes away any comfort from that for you. My understanding of a PET scan is that it will show what spread of the disease there may be. It is a very personal thing - better to know what you are dealing with or too frightening to contemplate??? Thinking of you all, take care, Jill ... View more

Hi Linda Happy New Year to you and your family - I hope 2010 is a good year for you. Stay safe, well and positive. Kind regards, Willow ... View more

Hi Linda, So glad to hear that you are doing well. There are obviously a lot of people who feel the same way as you about Carol being a special lady, that is really lovely. I hope that you get the answers to your questions when you see Dr Taylor in January. The questions seem to be endless, just when you think you can't think of anymore, another one will pop into your head! For your own peace of mind, it seems sensible to hold on to all the info, should it be an issue for your daughter down the track. Let's hope not. As for me, I am just trying to take it one day at a time, the last few days Greg has been doing quite well, his confusion seems to be much much less and physically he has been fine. This morning however, he has woken with a slight headache, I have given him some water for the moment and he is now sleeping. He has some medications to take but needs to eat first, so will let him sleep a bit longer and then see if I can get him to have brekky so that he can have his meds. The plan for today was that we were going to drop the boys for a playdate with friends, I would take Greg to my Dad's work and then Dad would take Greg to Greg's work xmas function in Freo and I was going to do xmas shopping. Will have to wait and see if that is how it ends up. I am accepting help whenever it is offerred and am asking for it when it isn't offerred! I am trying to catch up on sleep where I have the opportunity. It is all such a major change to what I am used to, and it is hard to accept so much help, but I know I have to, or we just won't manage. Thanks for your thoughts, I am HOLDING ON! Jill. ...

Hiya Linda ... Yup the CC has a website will give you the address at the end. :) If you are on your way through from hopetown to perth and want to catch up for a coffee let me know. I have made friends with someone from margaret river who also stayed here at Milroy, will catch up with her soonish i think. Yes i believe that milroy is tied up with the crawford story also, maybe was a name of one of their properties?? Not absolutely sure. I know the theatre room here is called the Tilley Theatre after the people that donated money for its existence. Pretty amazing facilities indeed. Thanks re me going home too, i cant wait and found out today they have put one too many treatments on my card ... sooooooo monday they are going to be asked nicely to remove it. haha Cheers Julie http://www.cancerwa.asn.au/ the cc website addy. ...

Hi Linda, 4 more sleeps till hubby arrives. Make sure you get online and vent any anger/frustration with us, before he gets to you, then hopefully you will be feeling even happier to see him!! All the best, Jill. ... View more

some people might think this is their only chance after trying all sorts of treatments. you never know. we had a friend that was told he had 3 months to live, they told him to go home and put this affairs in order. his wife would not listen to this. she went out past Lake King and picked some of the Maroon bush, brewed it up and he drank this daily (it tasted shocking). that man lived for another five years and had a good time. so for some this might be a bit of hope. cheers ...
