Hi @arpie,
Thanks for the message, we're at Narangba, North of Brisbane so the drive to the RBWH from here isn't too bad, probably 45 minutes on average, it's the parking that's the real wallet emptier so far at $40 odd a day 😕
That's really helpful news about the ongoing consults over the next few years. It's great to get a real sense of what the new "normal" is going to look like for us.
We actually have had a holiday to Japan in late March / April 25 basically booked and mostly paid for for months now and of course we're devastated that, depending on treatment etc, we may not be able to make the trip. That said our doctor worked out a really rough schedule and she said "don't cancel anything yet", so we're hoping that we can crush through the treatment and come out the other side ready to have that reward of an amazing holiday.
We've actually just come back home from a lovely day out with the kids, we did a really energetic 9KM bush walk around the Ewan Maddock dam up on the Sunshine Coast. It was pretty hard going at spots but was lovely to be out in the fresh air. I'm convinced that, along with a great diet and positive attitude, exercise will play a key part in us having a better outcome. Rebecca is going to speak to her GP tomorrow about getting a management plan in place with a referral to a local Exercise Physiologist who can start to work with Rebecca on an exercise plan before, during and after treatment.
