No worries Dave! I'ts nice to have the support of people who have or are going through the same illness inspite of where in the mouth/neck the cancer strikes. And thank you for your well wishes..I intend to beat this sucker even though I know some days I will not want to go to get the treatment as I live 75 kms south of Perth which means I have to travel that distance and back for 5 days a weeks x 7 weeks! But, I will finish it!!

And yes, your mum does sound like a legend..this site is wonderful for carers like her. I believe their job is a lot harder than the patients..so here's cheers to all the care givers!

Take care and keep in touch.
