Hi guys
I had a terrific time on Norfolk Island - we strummed our way around the island & just had a heap of fun! We learned a few 'Norfolk Language' songs (a mix of 1800s English & Tahitian) and met some amazing people!!

Yesterday I went back to Port for my 6 week Post Rad checkup ... and my specialist had to actually look at her notes to determine which boob had had the surgery!! AMAZING!! I am back to full normal pink colour, no more flaking/peeling & no redness. The heat has almost totally dissipated now ..... tho my Rad Onc has said that I will need to continue with lotion/cream during winter in particular as the natural oil glands will have been nuked by the radiation.
Next week I go to see the Onc guy in Taree, to discuss my future use of Tamoxifen .... I'll be taking copies of the AI thread here, to discuss with him .... I am already full of arthritis (particularly in the hands, & lesser so in the hips & knees) so not really looking forward to more pain/discomfort!
One step at a time tho ......
Sadly, the wife of one of my uke players has just been diagnosed with breast cancer yesterday, having had it previously 15 years ago! :( I have 3 other good friends suffering as well - one with colon & liver cancer & another with metastatic bone cancer & the 3rd with Melanoma & just been diagnosed with lymphoma as well! :( WHAT A SHIT DISEASE this cancer is! :(
I hope that everyone is a good place in their treatment - loving thoughts & hugs going out to everyone xxx
