Hi Jeanna

I'm really sorry to hear that you and Rod are having to deal with this horrid disease. He must be improving if he can swallow meds without crushing them. Hopefully that is a step forward.

I also had my radiotherapy and chemo at Peter Mc Cancer Centre. My surgeries have been performed at other hospitals, but some of the surgeons based at Peter Mc also operate at a couple of other hospitals around Melbourne. Does Rod have to have any surgery?

Where abouts in Melbourne do you live?
