Hi Wendy! So glad that it is mostly good news! I hope the HBO and the meds to increase circulation help Steve's jaw. I'm glad things are falling into place with changing his doctors. The move sounds like it is already making you happy. What better way to know you are making the right decision? No matter what anyone else is telling you and bringing you down, your heart knows best. You aren't letting fear act like an anchor and control your life. Congratulations on being a co-survivor.

@Liza: I'm sorry about that awful, nasty monkey that keeps antagonizing you. I know he won't ever go away completely. Let's fast forward through years of clean scans for you...that monkey has grown quiet and tame. Right now, you are giving him a fierce whacking! Keep going, gorgeous girl! You are doing great--you are amazing! Turn on auto-pilot when you don't feel like thinking about it or if things get hard. Your army is with you...we all love taking shots at that monkey!

Sending hugs and kisses to you both! (And a smack upside the head for the monkey.)

So glad to hear you are returning to Townsville (or is it Cairns?) - I know that is where your heart is. Also makes sense that HBO would be readily available there and maybe this time Steve will tolerate it without having to battle Sydney traffic. Also fantastic news that Steve's scans are still clear. Just a bugger about the jaw. Who would have thought our health system was so dysfunctional that this could be happening to you. Maybe once you get to QLD, things will improve for you guys.
