Good to hear that your first chemo went well Lenor. Hope all the rest of your cycles are the same. You are lucky to be in Melbourne with so much at your fingertips. I am from Melbourne originally but moved to the sunshine coast and thought about going back there to have my treatment as my family is still there but did not want to interupt my sons routine and day care and my husbands work.

Best wishes for the rest of your treatment.

WOW soooo happy your feeling OK!!! & thanx for all that info... :) 

My thoughts are still with u as always & hope u continue doing fine.... 

Off to work right now so only a quick email... :) Sooooo happy for u, just wanted to let u know.... :) :) :) 

Hello my dear friends, thanks a lot for your good energy and constant love, it works!!!! Im feeling well!!!!!!!!! I went last Thursday thinking this is what I need to do to get healthy soon, I was there, relax, listing at my mantras (the ones I heard only 8 months ago when I had my 1st baby boy Gaspar) and smelling lavander...It went well, I am only tired and I have a very sensitive scalp, my stomach feels a bit funny, but I cant complain, I am ok!!!

Well, genostics is an expensive (but super important!!!) test for chemosensitivity, they only take blood from you, and they separete the remaining cancer cells in your blood stream and tried every chemo drug to see which one will be most effective for "your particular case"

www.genostics.com.au

I would strongly suggest to check it before starting chemo!!

Additionally, Gawler Foundation is an amazing place to get support, comprehension and a better understanding about this sickness, and Ian Gawler story is a very inspirational!!! The book is WONDERFUL!! I am glad you are reading it!!

Me and Amanda are enjoying attending to the program and I am sure you ladies would love to go, it is around $400 but they offer bursaries for people a bit short on money!! and again, it is worthy!!

Sam I am thinking it could be very good for you as well, for my understanding is not for people doing chemo, it is for everyone facing cancer!!!

Love to all of you and again THANKS FOR BEING HERE!!!

Hi, All the very best to you for your treatment.  You are a very smart young lady and remind me of my girls.  They would never "take things lying down" and like you would question everything.  Good on you.  I am presently reading Ian Gawler's books - presently "You Can Conquer Cancer" and would love to attend his courses.  There is so much in Melbourne to access.  Best wishes with everything - and you have met beautiful Mandymoo!!!!!!!!
