Feb 24: My treatment team know that I would like to live a little longer. But they also have to keep my pain and nausea under control. Not easy! Here I am with my oncologist talking about #ovariancancer with @georgjensen Australia and @GrittyPrettyEd🎥 youtu.be/6nxhkB_ILSI

'Dear young girl in the bubble-gum-pink hijab who wandered in on the book launch…
I want to apologise.
Your eyes looking up in adoration at the 70-ish white grandmother while she autographed your copy of our book…'

tell him
there are ribbons
all along the fence
show him
how they shimmer,
in their hundreds
say that
this
is his legacy
and that we all know:
we know
exactly
where he is

From today, all Victorians can collect free rapid antigen tests from participating local councils to help with early detection and treatment of COVID.
Everyone can collect up to 2 packs of 5 RATs per person, and 2 packs per household member. You do not need a Medicare card.
