Helen,
Thanks for your good wishes! I know that I'm being treated at the best place possible, at least downunder, but I'm just staggered that there is no-one else on this board who has been treated in even a remotely similar way. I know that no two cases are identical but it does scare me going into unchartered territory.

I also believe that you are also going to get a new dedicated Cancer Centre in Sydney. It is amazing that one doesn't already exist up there!

All things considered my family and I are doing really well, but none of us is looking forward to my 3 weeks plus as an inpatient, especially with Christmas looming!

Wishing you Continued Good Health.

Sue
