Hey Dave, sorry I didn't mean we had the treatment at RBH. Just the pet scan. But alot of people from rural qld do travel there to have treatment. Must be very hard on them. Just having to fly down and back for that one day, being away from all that was familiar and comfortable was bad enough. We couldn't imagine doing it for 6 wks. That's why we decided to move to Newcastle area NSW as all of our family are here. An hour drive away from the hospital also and Steve got to be in the comfort of his own home each day. I would imagine that would make a huge difference.

Sounds like your mum is a legend. I'm really glad you have her for support. Keep coming here and even if your mum wants to as well it will help. There's a section for carer's and it might help your mum to understand some things. These guys here were my rock when Steve went through treatment. Between these guys and my mum I was able to keep going. Makes a huge difference.
