Offered the job of FT HR Business Partner for the 3 states on Friday, accepted it today. Laugh of the moment, I was in hospital today when I accepted it. Oh well, they know I’m sick but still offer me the job on a permanent basis. I’ll see how I go.

I hope that it works out well for you :).

So my brothers cancer is so rare, there have only been 8 of its kind in the last 35 years. Thank goodness they believe they got it all. The 3 monthly MRI’s are concerning (I think it strange) but he seems ok with it all. He flew over last weekend, his vocal chords are permanently damaged and all he can muster is a whisper. But I’ll take that any day over the alternative!

Forgot to add I had a mylogram of the cervical and thoracic. Should get it the results next week. Not that I want them, I don’t know what to do if anything is bad and indicative I need surgical intervention. I’m over surgery for ever!

I find you to be very strong. I have read lots of this post.
And think you are very strong. I am here if I can help.

Pam, I hope your brother's MRI results are nothing to be concerned about.

Also, I hope that your myelogram results turn out well.

I find 3 monthly MRI’s to be unusual but My brother seems ok with it so I’m saying nothing.

I hope to get the mylogram results next week when my neurosurgeon returns from holiday.

PamelaJune -- I had a malignant tumor removed from my brain in 2005 and had to have MRIs every 3 months for a year, then they changed to every 6 months, (another surgery) then every 12 months. May 2018 the hospital finally changed it to every 24 months for the rest of my life. Whew.
It is to watch for any return of the tumor.

I’ve been to chicken to go get my mylogram results and I’ve been extra busy with work travelling to Vic, SA and NT. I went to my GP Weds hoping she had a copy of the report but no such luck.

Yesterday something terrible happened. I had to have our 2 dogs Bono and Bronson put to sleep. Bronson had cancer and somehow Bono fractured his spine on Thursday while I was in work. I spent the night with him on the floor and he finally collapsed onto my chest and I could ease him to the floor. At that stage I knew something was wrong but not what. I couldn’t pick him up so had to wait for the vet to come to me. When she did, she said the kindest thing is to let him go, he’s nearly 14 & she looked at Bronson and said the same for him. So my boys who arrived together 13years ago and have been my stalwart companions have crossed the rainbow bridge. I’m beyond devastated can’t speak to anyone and keep saying to myself I want them back. Got DB home as they were his dogs first. He too is heartbroken.

Pam, you have my deepest sympathy.

Losing much-loved pets is always a hard thing.
