Best Of
Re: Difficulties getting and moving in bed.
I’ have just started paying off a new bed. It is a motorised one to raise the head and foot of the bed
i could only afford the long single but I only use part of the bed anyway and I will be able to get rid of all the pillows and wedges that I use in my queen bed

Re: How to find a good medical team? (Brisbane / Gold Coast)
Hi @SimonM, I am in Brisbane and the Wesley Hospital is probably the Gold Star for breast cancer in the private system. They also have oncology there too and surgeons and the oncologists work closely together in a multi focussed team of care.
There are great surgeons and oncologist in the public system too and most private surgeons and oncologists work both in the public system and private system.
My surgeon who was just the best is retired now but there are others who are great here too.
Happy to answer any questions you have. Best wishes to you and your wife.

Veoza for hot flushes
Hi, my GP gave me a call last week suggesting this new medication Veoza for my hot flushes. It was only approved by the TGA in February this year. It’s apparently safe for hormone positive breast cancer patients. Given we can’t take hormone replacement therapy it sounds like an interesting option. After 4 years of suffering hot flushes & night sweats I think I’m prepared to give it a try. Has anyone else had any experience with this very new drug yet?
Re: Old habits die hard
Love that Facebook quote. I am going to save that so I remember it too. I am finding saying no much easier since my mets diagnosis. I am more and more inclined to say no to anything that doesn't feel right for me. It feels so good doing this too.
