Just touching base...

Hello Caron,

Hope you are obeying orders & taking time for yourself! I had one of my drains in for ages - they sent me home with it & it finally dropped out of its own accord - scared the hell out of me, but one way of solving things!

Can imagine you must be stressing out a little over results & future plans - just remember that worrying will never solve it, or change the Dr's plans! I have become a great believer in Que Serra (or however you spell it!!!) - whatever will be will be! At my last chemo, which I thought really WAS my last chemo my Oncologist was muttering about "reviewing things" - I just told him I was having my holiday, visiting friends & family & in the New Year he can do whatever he wants! Permanent regime of chemo if he so desires, but I was having these few weeks to myself.

Don't be afraid to stand up for yourself now & then. And never be afraid to admit if you are really struggling - your medical team need to know the real truth about how you are coping (or not, as the case may be!!!)

Off to Perth this afternoon, don't know when I'll get near a computer again, but you will be in my thoughts! Especially on the 6th - it seems such a long wait, I'll bet!

Take care of you,

bye for now,

Fiona   :-)
