Sorry I haven't posted for a while. I still drop by every now and then but normally just lurk in the background. Somedays I try to offer advise to members on the forum but just can't seem to get the words right and sending a virtual hug just doesn't seem enough. But if ever needed I'm here.

On the plus side, Steve is still going well with no sign of the cancer. Still waiting for his jaw surgery though. Good old Australian public health system takes a while sometimes. Steve's weight is still a never ending battle but we'll get there.

Cecilia that is wonderful news for you and Martin. So happy for you both.
