Not even sure I know why I am writing this, but I guess I need to get it off my chest, perhaps then I can get my head around it all. Seven years ago at the age of 53 I was diagnosed dwith osteoporosis, and when I got in touch with Osteoporosis Assn, I was told: 'oh you are one of our younger ladies!" I was pu...

Here in Canberra my partner and I have anything from 1 week to 3 weeks wait for an appointment with our doctors. We'd heard about a doctor shortage in the bush so were very surprised in Katherine NT, when he got an appointment in 2 hours! How long do others have to wait, and where are you?

I had a chest xray on Friday which showed that it is 'only' Asthma and not Pneumonia(thank God), but it's certainly hanging around this time. Maybe because I ignored it for several weeks before getting on t...

Start first round of chemo this wednesday as lung op had good result, 3 days then a spell until bloods are right. Best part is I don't have to be admitted this time around, only day centre, no hospital food or bad nights to put up with, hoorah! Three months will go pretty quick I hope, but been there before...
