Well at last night's regular monthly meeting we celebrated Pauline's 20th anniversary with a gift, card and cake. She has experienced two recurrences, one in her spine 18 years ago and then last year in her lung, but she has responded well to treatment and is all clear now.

Pauline offers support to many here in northern Tasmania and is the Convenor of our group.

    Ta Di. We had a great garden opening too- I have sent a DVD in the mail to Lyn today so I hope you can all have a quick look (goes for under 15 mins) at my very amateurish film. Have a good weekend.

    Thank you Mandy for posting this news about Pauline's anniversary.  It gives us all heart to hear about people who've lived for a very long time after a distant recurrence.

    Thanks Mandy, I'll go search it out.

    (Weekend was slightly spoilt by a trip to the dentist, but otherwise fab!  Hope you had a good one, too! ;)
