  • Just before my last radiotherapy

    Posted May 11, 2011 by tanya

    I met with my fantastic GP yesterday - Mark came. I had my long list of questions for her and she is so good about taking the time to go through everything properly. A few notes for my reference: 1. I'm to keep taking Caltrate D - extra calcium to help my bones stay strong after the chemo. 2. I ha...

  • Australia Day

    Posted May 11, 2011 by tanya

    Leila took the four of us in to the city for the Australia Day fireworks tonight. I cooked coriander chicken rice from my new Falling Cloudberries book and packed us a picnic. We walked the 2km in to the city with the throngs of crazy Aussie patriots. The kids were so excited when the fireworks star...

  • Itchy

    Posted May 11, 2011 by tanya

    The radiated area is now a well-defined red burnt square. It isn't sore like sunburn but is quite itchy. But apparently it's 'looking good'. I guess 'looking good' is completely relative! Will take the kids down south tomorrow to see my sister-in-law who is recovering from a brain haemorage. She's ...

    Posted May 11, 2011 by tanya

    Was at pilates on Saturday and this evening. Really enjoying it and the muscle soreness that comes after. Am going once per week now. Had a great walk last night after the kids went to bed. I walked down William St and there was so much life. Lots of people out and about and lots of shops to look a...

    Pilates and a pedicure today. I'm back into pilates after a few weeks off. Really enjoying it - it's so good for stretching out the tired old muscles. Cooked some Jude recipes today - that makes me happy.

    Radio is going well - only two weeks left. The area being treated looks burnt now and feels warm but it's not a problem. I'm moisturising twice per day which should be helping. Felt so much better this week after my personal training session than last week. I wasn't nearly as sore - and I did my ho...

  • Project team trip to Molloy

    Posted March 12, 2011 by Ness

    Well what a great few days! Cynthia and I took a road trip down to Molloy Island, on the Blackwood river just East of Augusta, WA. Visiting our wonderful web developer, Maria, we had a great time spending a few days working on the final stages of the website and talking through what we needed to ma...
