It's tempting but I think we need to get home as soon as we can.
A trip down will be on the cards later on though.

Just come across this topic and read it through, great to see that when someone really needs help it's forthcoming and genuine.

Stick with it CJ cancer is not a quick death sentence. I have been through it although different from yours and now 8 years later am fit and feeling great doing the things I want to do.

Cheers mate.

Glad to hear you've come through the treatment and are ready to return home. All the best.

Cheers, mate. It might be a while but we'll certainly get down your way when we can.

By the way great news about your recovery and Kem also sends his best regards.

And our best wishes back to both Kem and you.

A bit of a bump,

dr. Swe reckons 2-4 years depending on the thalidomide.

best not get pregnant he?

^ What's that, then?...

Wow. Faced with your mortality. 2-4 years is better than what you thought before. But it's still rather sobering I would think. How's your missus taking the news?

Do I hear Twerry crack open another beer?

If you have the opportunity for counselling for you and yours, take it. It really does help.

2-4 years left to live or 2-4 years before you can be declared clean?

Idiotic comment.

My younger brother was almost a thalidomide victim, but my father, rest his soul, was a medical doctor and received earlier than normal news regarding the disasters of the drug...Hence, he stopped my mother from taking it almost immediately, but there was a lot of worrying before my brother was born...

Canada, apparently, was one of the "later" countries to stop the use of the drug which was developed in West Germany in '54, I believe...

The former, allegedly.
There is no "clean".

Damn man, sorry to hear it.

My grandfather lived 15 years after he was given 6 months to live.
GOOD years I might add.

There is nothing I would like to do more is to drive up-country and deliver some pies to your door mate.

Life's a bitch at the moment and so busy with just keeping my family going with two in Uni and the young one wanting to change schools. Not to mention the court case from hell but I am tough as you are mate.

Keep positive mate.

It's not a problem, mate.
We'll just see how it goes.
I've had a far better innings than many.
All good and we're pretty happy enjoying stuff.

Tell you what mate, post them to me and I'll drop them off next time I'm up there.
