Hey Mich
I lived rurally during my diagnosis treatment and have only just moved in Mackay in May this year (its east of Townsville - 4/5 hours drive and about 13 hours drive from Brisbane). I lived two hours west of here in a mining town. So, I still live in a small regioinal area, but its like living in a capital city compared to what it was like.
I think I am going to make sure I take a marker and write my "screen name" on it anyways. I doubt they will have a problem with that! I might even look around my computer and see if I can find an updated version of myself in a photo and if there is a way to add it on here, I will. Actually, looking above it seems we can insert an image. If others feel like they are up to it - take a pic too and we will have an idea of who we all are.
I haven't packed my bag yet, but I am thinking of starting that tomorrow. I have most of my clothes sorted (i think) - i am staying a couple of extra days and seeing family/friends in Newcastle till Sunday. I really don't know if I could have done a trip like this during treatment phase - so I congratulate you in advance.
I found Vit B Complex tablets (i think that is what they were called) helped me with my fatigue a bit. And lots and lots of water to keep flushing the chemo through the system quicker.
Getting so excited - 5 days kid free in a city that I love so much. I am getting in at 2 to Sydney and hoping I can get my bags dropped off to the hotel quickly so I can hop on over to Paddy's market before it closes at 5. Haven't been there in years!
See you all VERY soon
