Well the support of friends has been amazing! My social life was pretty great already but I seem to be constantly meeting friends for breakfast or lunch out - better enjoy it while I can.., I find I have a whole new appreciation for sunrises and sunsets... I bought myself a new chair just to sit on the beach and enjoy the view - winter in the tropics is just magic  ;-)

I am nervous about my appointment with the oncologist on the 28th. I have been warned that I will probably be on chemo before radiation and as I am a Warfarin (blood thinners) patient, this could mean moving on to daily self injections of Clexane as well as the yucky treatment! I guess I shouldnt get ahead of myself and wait to see what the specialist says but all this waiting plays games with your head, doesnt it.

I have been shopping for trendy looking scarves and beanies (lucky its winter) but I think there is also a wig library here in Cairns so that may be worth visiting too!

    Hi Lisa

    Great to hear you are out and about and enjoying luncheswith friends and yes I to have been enjoying the sunrises on the beach each morning when I walk my dogs,  watched the sunrise on the winter solistice and with just s tiny sliver of cloud on the horizon it was magical breath taking and I got a lump in my throat and tears down my face at the beauty of the morning and the fact I could appreciate it so much - I'm at the southern end of the gold coast and we have been blessed with stunning weather over the past week.

    My parents have been living in Port Douglas for the past 26 years so I know your part iof the world pretty well and winter there is always stunning...

    I understand your nerves with appointment with oncologist but hang in there and as the ladies on this site will say when you have a plan you have something to focus on - all things are doable is another great one to think of.  I have private msged you and hope to catch up soon.

    Cheers Georgie
