here in Australia they do not do much about this only really focus on the adult strains or leukemia, there are foundations around for Childhood cancer research etc and I always try and do my little bit that one person can to promote this, the statistics are lower here, but when you look at us and other countries its the same when you take into account the population difference, also Childhood cancer Kids suffer differently to adults due to their bodies still growing, this is during and after treatment as the long term effects are unknown and so many get one or more of these long term side effects,  they are also prone to the same complications as adults too.

this last month has been not to bad, we have all had colds and Alexandria still has that dreaded cough but no other side effects to worry about she did get an ear infection and no temp so we went to our local Dr and she was put on anti-biotics to clear it up, Robyn and I also had it too. she is better now but the cough still around!!!!! the girls are also not in the good books and we have implemented a naughty chair which is sort of working for our 3.5 yr old!!! they decided to play jump on their beds the other night and broke Alex's bed, TV and chest of drawn so much for sleeping at 8.30pm :o so now they are not allowed to get on computer and we Will not replace the TV as this is money we do not have, car is over due a service and Bike need a Tyre which for a Harley is NOT CHEAP here in OZ!!!!


scanexiaty has hit as we have X-Ray and Ultrasound next week plus Dr appointment, we will not get results as the scans are after the Dr's appointment due to me needing to get home for Robyn as Hubby is working away and no other family or close friends to get her if I am held up...



Alex has her last week of term 3 this week and she went to school dressed as a Dr last week for come to class as what you want to be when you grow up so cute, we had a Lady, A Ninga Turtle, a cowboy, a cook, Dr Alex lol, and a few others plus the teacher was a princess ♥ Alex wants to grow up to be a Dr. and to help Kids like her, or Find a cure if it is still needed by then, I think its cute she wants to make it all better for others like her. but I do hope the cure is found sooner than later but who knows!!!!!!



October Alex will restart swimming lessons at School she is so looking forward to that and we have the new year book list already OMG its only 1 term left of her prep year and then Christmas will be here we have hit 9 months out from treatment and she is looking great ♥
 
 
we live for today and make the most of what we have here and now. This is the normal for us now and the smallest issues even with my Youngest Daughter who is not a cancer kid I still panic.  I have learnt now to relax while it is going well and enjoy what we have, but start getting Scanxiaty as of the week or so before which is now ARGH!!!!! so we live for 4-5 weeks then stress for a week or 2 and once its over go back into normal mode,
