Hi Jules,
I have the same attitude with my study. I'm 53, I'm in my last study period of a B. Communications (journalism major). I have studied for 4 years via OUA so there are 4 study periods in the year rather than 2 on campus semesters. I finish my degree on February 23, 2014. I start my honours year on campus on March 3, 2014 at Griffith Gold Coast (I'm at Arundel).
We might meet on campus next year? Are you on campus or off?
I'm not having too much difficulty studying, only the 3 days around chemo knock me and today is a little hard because of the huge headache I have which I am associating with my hair falling out at the moment. I'm not running a fever, I checked :)
I didn't go to Pacific Private after all for my chemo. It's a long story best forgotten. I'm going through Icon Health at the Premion Building. My oncologist is Dr Andrea Tazbirkova and a nicer, more caring oncologist I couldn't hope to find. Love her to bits. She works with Dr Slancar. This is a private day hospital on the 9th floor of a medical building almost entirely made up of cancer services. The view is spectacular and awesome to watch while you're having chemo.
Keep in contact please. I've just met another BC lady, same age as us from Labrador. She is a writer (books). We might be able to have our own little coffee group.
