As a fellow Aussie I just wanted to welcome you to the forum. There are a few of us here! wink
As my treatment was surgery only I cannot be of much help in answering your questions however I see you are getting some great responses.
Hope your family get better (I had the flu shot in May) soon and that you do not come down with a virus.
Please keep us posted on what your GP says but for any more serious questions I am hoping you have a team from the hospital that are keeping an eye on you?
Cheers
Gabriele
