Its all go! Yes, the wonderfully supportive chemo doctor has given his blessing to the CSR trip in June, so its full steam ahead! Many thanks to all the faithful 'prayer warriors' out there, and the others who have guided my diet and 'supplementary food path' - the scan and xray showed little if any growth in the size of the lung tumors, and the chemo specialist was confident I could delay any ongoing treatment until I came back. We're now down to the final planning stages of the Big Trek, where for over two weeks our only contact in the outback will be by sat. phone - very expensive, so it will only be used in emergencies. Fay would appreciate your calls and 'invites' during this time, although I know she has a lot of her own plans in the pipeline!
If I return feeling as good as I do right now, then I am blessed indeed.
If I return singing 'Waltzing Matilda' then you'll know to send me back!
fantastic news dad, we are very excited for you. though now i have a picture of you and Jim singing "I love the Nightlife" as 4WD your way through the outback ....
ReplyDeletehad such a fun time with you and mum here in Melbourne, kids loved having Poppa here and keep talking about their trips on the tram!
all the best for the next weeks preparations.
Go for it - have fun - enjoy!
ReplyDeleteWonderful news Murray and Fay. We were expecting the good news and now the fun begins. All of the best for the final preparations. We will look after Fay. Love Jean and John
ReplyDeleteWoohoo! Brave or bit crazy! Kiwi flies will never worry you again. Have a wonderful adventure and take lots of photos but how do you charge the camera I wonder?
ReplyDeleteAnother adventure on the amazing adventure which is life.
Love
Me n Nev xx
This is going to be an amazing trip, although the slideshow on your return of outback dirt and sand may not quite do it justice. We’re so stoked this has worked out as you’ve been excitedly talking of the journey for awhile. We’ll be thinking of you and will look after mum in your absence.
