Sydney together

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

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.

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

Hope all goes well leonie ~we are all thinking of you. Sending you lots of positive vibes & looking forward to seeing you all frocked up in october.

Take care Kezz  xoxo

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.

How are you going Leonie? We all hope so much that you improve dramatically and quickly.

Sending a rainbow to you....xxxxx

Rest up and DO take things easy, you probably won't be doing any gardening for a bit either. I used to have a sore back at times (nothing like what you have) and I found it was my too hard bed. I am sending you daily healing thoughts, and counting the sleeps until the 24th October.
