That was Easter
Hi to the local Tasmanians! I have been living here for almost 1 year now and have found it to be a beautiful part of Australia.

Catchup
Hi everyone, I have just written a huge reply about my 7 month journey with this tumour, I'm not sure if it lets you know of updates on posts, so if you go to August and the PT post, I have updated at the bottom.

Taxol/Paclitaxel
I was shocked to read in the paper today that next month the government will slash by 86% the price it pays for Paclitaxel/Taxol. This comes after slashing the price it pays for Docetaxel by 76% in December. They say it is because for years pharmacists have been overcharging up to $2800 per dose. Now, a number of hospitals…
