Hi Kerrie I'm the same, love logging into this website and chatting. The new radiation treatment starts today, as they found a new met in my forearm and I will only be having five doses. I'm quietly confident I will be fine. I've had 60 doses of radiation all up on my left breast now chest. I've only coloured up a bit, no burns, thank goodness. I'm also waiting for the results of a CT on my chest/abdo, which I had yesterday. I get the results of that Friday, I have everything crossed that I don't have anymore mets. It's so nice to be able to speak to people in a similar place, health wise, and know that they know what your talking about and know they really want to listen. I find it a little difficult to speak to some of my family members and friends because you don't know how much or how little to say to them, I can quite often see it going over the top of there heads while trying to answer a question they've asked me. I don't blame them whats so ever, if I had the choice I wouldn't be where I am right now and wouldn't be talking about it at all. I was in the Dragons as well and did enjoy it but it's so cold here in Central Victoria that I often didn't go or there was some other reason why I couldn't go. I never raced in any regattas so never had the competitive streak happening. I was more in it for the social side of it, I'd be happy if we could paddle our way around the lake whilst chatting and having a cup of tea. lol At the moment I am going to our Wellness Centre, which is fabulous. I do Art Therapy and yoga. Love it. Great talking with you. cheers Annette
