    Just got home after 2nd six-monthly checkup post cancer. I am happy to say that I am still cancer-free. Peter Mac Hospital in its infinite wisdom has removed all the free books for reading while waiting to see the doctor. This is a major step back. I found a couple of beauties last year while I was in treatment. Things I would never in a million years have actually spent money on, but were splendid reads. On the plus side, the new station at Parkville is just outside the door and is looking splendid and hopefully will be available for use soon. The new tram stop in Royal Parade is excellent and nearly big enough. Also the coffee in the Wellness Centre is still good but the selection of bikkies has reduced somewhat.

      That’s wonderful news.

      I really hate cancer, it’s such a scurge and can affect anyone at any stage without descrimination.

      I hope one day we can find a cure and beat it.

        Thanks. Mine was apparently related to the HPV virus - and the current programme of vaccinating every female of reproductive age against that virus means that cervical cancer at least may well become a thing of the past in just a few years. Huge advances being made all the time.

        Me too. No one should have to go through the whole cancer ‘journey’. It’s horrible. But for me at least I think it’s over. The doc said that after 3 years I can pretty much forget I ever had it, which is nice. 2 years to go.

      Fuck cancer! There can’t be too much more above ground work since the historic fence is back in and most roads line marked. Bit annoying to lose a tram stop, but getting the bus back on route will be grand.

      Congrats! Someone in my life had to go through these, and I swear my heart stopped for a day every time they went in till I got the “all clear” phone call. Treat yourself and your loved ones to something special tonight.

        Will do. Thanks for your good wishes! Happily, some cancers CAN be cured nowadays - it’s no longer an automatic death sentence. I got lucky with one that could be fixed fairly easily.
