I made it home today. Drugs are good and I must have looked the part as well "armed with a cushion" for my back. The ground staff gave me a great seat - row 3 with lots of leg room. I forgot about the back when my head "exploded" due to sinus. Feeling a bit sorry for oneself this evening. I have made arrangements to have an early CT scan (due in December) just to see what is happening. I actually think it is the Arimidex slowly "eating" away at all my "bits". I am also going to see a Chiropractor as well tomorrow. We are hoping to go away on Friday so here's hoping. What have I got to whinge about - my dear friend who has secondaries in her bones and is on some "awful shit" chemo has just said that she now has Bells Palsy. Will let you all know how I get on tomorrow. I will be asking the Radiographer as the report is not given out with the x-rays. I have already informed the receptionist at my Specialist's that a report is coming and to let me know if I need to make an early appointment. I hope not as Bill won't be able to handle any more "nasties". Thanks again girls - I appreciate your caring words and thoughts. XLeonie

Oh, Leonie, whay can I say. Please try not to worry about how Bill will handle the future what ever it might be. You need all of your energy focused on you and that is just how it must be for now. I am sure you have given him the very best of yourself in the past, you are such a loving soul. Know that we are all with you and that you can share your every thought with us.
Bill will come through fine, and try not to be affected by all of the fabulous positive stoties we hear about support from hubbies during ilness. It doesn't always happen, and from my own experience it seems to me fairly normal for the man to crumble under the pressure. They worry for themselves and for us and sometimes just can't do both. Specially if he sees you as a strong woman, it is hard to see you in a lesser state. He is probably thinking, who is going to look after me while my wife is unable to?
He loves you, that's what matters. Sometimes it seems we have to do the worrying for both too. Have a rest from that worry for now and focus on being well.
I hope I haven't stepped over the line, just want you to be happy and healthy xxxxxAnn

Some days it is so hard to stop the lips from wobbling, tears flowing and chins dropping.
Take each day as it comes, Leonie and all our wonderful girls.
The Cancer Council bus accident here yesterday in which 3 people died and 7 were injured, returning from Launceston's Holman Cancer Clinic after having treatment to the North West, was so ghastly.
Do take special care.

I just read about the bus crash, it looked horrific. My thoughts go out to all those affected by it. Its hard enough going through cancer treatment but to have this happen on top of that must be just devastating for the families.
I agree each day is a gift ~ thats why it is called the present. Counting down the days so I can give you all a big hug. Take care everyone

How sad. I hope they are now free of pain and suffering and in a better place. Condolences to their loved ones. XLeonie

You will never step over the line. We know how it works. We all know each other very well. It is hard to be ill when you have a strong independant character and don't want to succumb. All will be good so long as I take it easy. XLeonie

Hi girls, Had my CT scan today. All went well and I haven't heard from the specialist so fingers crossed that all is good. I went to the chiropractor. She is amazing. Went through all my history right from childhood and then sent me off for an xray of my whole spine. I have just returned from an appointment where she has adjusted me (with a medical tool and moving table). I then went to the supermarket to get some gluten free food and whilst sitting here she has just phoned to see how I am. Apparently the process aligns the body and I will either feel fabulous or worse (90% feel fabulous). Hoping to be in the 90%!!!!!. I will now go and pack my bag for 1770. Chat soon- when I am feeling much better!!!!!XLeonie

Woohooo!! You are sounding much brighter Leonie:) Great that you could have your back re aligned. Sounds like something they do to cars! I think I need some adjustments too:) Wishing you happy times ahead.
So sad to hear the news from Tasmania, the whole state will be in mourning. Distance is our tyranny living in Australia. We love the beauty of our country and the freedom we have, but sometimes we have to travel a long way for treatments, which does add an extra worry. Ours is often a journey in more ways than one.
On a happier note, found some very garrish bright pink nail polish to wear in Sydney... look out here we come!!!

Hello my wonderful, distant :-( friends. I've just had a quick read through all these messages above. I didn't hear about the bus crash. That is horrible and so unfair. I can't believe it.
Leonie, how are you now? You are going through so much. I'm glad the other ladies have been able to keep in touch with you and send loving thoughts your way. Lots of love from me too. XXXXXX
I haven't been on BCNA for a long time. I've been dealing with grief and stress lately. I'm working hard at finding " the old Lee". She pops her head out here and there. Wine tends to help. I hope she comes home to stay soon!
My double mastectomiy is booked for September 26th. Having lat dorsi and saline expanders. Not a whole lot to look forward to in the short-time but next year will just have to make up for it!
Ovaries and tubes next term...maybe hysterectomy. Any advice from those who have walked this path previously?
I wish I could be there in Sydney. I would love to see you all and hug you all again!
Take care of each other, like I know you do anyway!
Love, Me. XXX

We try to be up and positive most days, but then some things are just not fair! Lee, you are such a bubbley fun loving person. I remember at the BCNA events ,when ever I looked your way, there was always a huge smile on your face. You were enjoying every moment bonding with the girls. We will miss you in Sydney. You may be far away in distance, but you are there beside us in our hearts.
I will be thinking of you on the 26th and sending you healing thoughts for a speady recovery. XXXXX Ann
