Commenced Radiotherapy

Dear Loretta, yes its good to know that I get my treatments early in the day (later on Mondays so we don't have to leave home so early) and we have the rest of the day to ourselves.  I don't like big towns, they are so busy - where I am living, we don't have traffic lights or parking meters (how spoilt are we!) it's only a tiny town but I love it.  One of the ladies at the accomodation came from the same town, she said she hates it!  She hates the fact there are minimal shops and it's boring and isolated - all the things I love!  I don't find it boring at all, we have four lakes near by and a beautiful mountain range that goes for miles and miles and is so magnificent, there are lots of different drives to go on and hubby loves taking me on them - the scenery is ever changing as the seasons progress and I am always amazed at the beauty - I never get tired of it, even if we go the same route, there is always something to see, at the moment the spring lambs are being born, and the baby calves - not to mention kangaroos, emus, the birds and at the moment the wattle is in full bloom.  At a certain time the Canola feilds burst into the most amazing blanket of yellow as far as the eye can see!  I lived up in Queensland for 20 years and it is wonderful to come home and appreciatte the state of Victoria - so underated, but so very beautiful!  From our unit, you can see the Grampian ranges - some mornings there is a layer of fog below the range and it is awesome - they seem to change colour and some days look so clear you can touch them - No I don't like big towns and the city - rush, rush, rush! I feel very blessed and am looking forward to coming home and after the radio - we arrived back home today about 1.30, but we stopped at our local for lunch - it was really yummy and very cheap!  By and large the people here are really lovely, very pleasant and in the shops, nothing is ever too much trouble - no grumpies!  I have another nine months of Herceptin infusions, but at least I have them here in our little hospital where I know all the staff and I feel quite at home!  Thank you for your comment and yes! Suddenly the weekends take on a whole new meaning! x Josie
