    As 2022 closes - an update

    I truly do not know where the time goes, it has been ages since my last update, yet it doesn't seem it was too long ago at all. 

    Dal managed to shake off the cough eventually and has continued to grow his hair and beard, things have been going well.  About a month ago he went for his normal chemo treatment and was told by the duty staff that they were not giving the "Chemo" this time, just the Herceptin, we had not been advised of this prior and for about a week we were talking back and forwards...

    Coping with loneliness over the holidays

    Loneliness is something we see members of the Community talk about throughout the year in our Community forums. Feelings of loneliness are often experienced when you have cancer as you may not have told anyone about your diagnosis or told them how you are coping.

    This time of year can be difficult for many people for lots of reasons and not alone if you’re struggling. Hopefully, this blog will provide some comfort as we’re highlighting conversations from our forums and including support information...
