@arpie My husband and I are rolling on the floor with laughter imagining Miss Perky dissolving under the influence of pawpaw. And believe me Miss Perky does NOT need to be any more tender!
The toxic fat advert is something that the WA Health Department has run on tv to dictate to us. I really do not know if it is on you tube. Not worth watching anyway.
I am impressed with your husband's athletic achievements. Yes if we believed the boffins and lived the life they dictated there would be no cancer.
We grow all our own veges, garden 5 acres, exercise every day (after gardening) drink very little alcohol, eat home cooked meals, are active in the community with volunteering and yet we both have had cancer. Ian was diagnosed 21 years ago and myself last year. By all the laws of good food and exercise we should be at the top of the health ladder. I now keep a very healthy scepticism and cynicism of medicos and all things medicine.
Thankyou for your postive comments. I have my days and some are not nice. However this forum has done more for me than any of the so called experts. It is very reassuring to read that what I think and feel is also what others do. I am Normal. I also find it difficult being a very remote woman as there is the inference that I must be "strong" because remote women are supposed to be resourceful, resilient and self reliant. Sometimes all I wanted to do was sit in the naughty corner and cry.
I also refuse to be defined by this cancer thing. I have cancer, I am not cancer.
