Thanks everyone. Life has certainly taken a turn for the better since the big move. We even found out today that Townsville will have it's own PET scan facilities by November. Currently Qld health fly you to Brisbane which is a 1 and a half hour flight. We did this when Steve was first diagnosed so know how difficult and long a day it is when you have to do this so knowing the facilities are going to be here soon is fantastic. So we now have HBO and soon to be a PET scanner all within a 10 minute drive from our home smile

I'll be sure to keep you all updated on how we go. Get through next Tuesday first and then see where we go from there but so far a plan has been made and we are very happy with the team. And yes, furniture arrived all ok and we get to sleep in our own bed tonight for the first time in weeks. Now that will be bliss smile
