Has anyone had radiation treatment in Australia over the last couple of years please?
Husband has just been given the costing and it doesn't make any sense.
Medicare pays $20,000
If you have to have radiation treatment you are expected to pay a further $620,00 a week for five weeks.
Even if you are on a Part Pension or Pension!
oooopa!
Novak Djokovic to be DEPORTED as his visa is cancelled AGAIN after minister seizes on discrepancies in the tennis champ's testimony to boot him from the country
NEW Immigration Minister Alex Hawke (inset) used his powers to cancel Djokovic's visa on Friday, four days after the federal government had backed down on deporting the tennis superstar. Mr Hawke's decision comes three days out from the start of the Australian Open where Djokovic (main, top right with wife Jelena) hoped to become the most successful male player of all time. It will likely result in further court action by the 34-year-old who has already won the Open nine times. Djokovic, who is not vaccinated against Covid and who contracted the virus in December, was initially denied a visa to enter Australia on January 6 by a Border Force official. Protests have been predicted and the federal government can expect an international backlash in response to its decision to send the Serb home.
She'd played the big-screen sex siren and didn't relish doing so again. 'I cannot see any sense in dressing up and doing nothing but tempting men in pictures.' So said Greta Garbo about the prospect of making the steamy 1926 potboiler Flesh And The Devil. And as a new biography reveals, when it came to 'dressing up', Garbo preferred to dress up as man. But for all the Swedish superstar's reservations about the film - concerning a love triangle involving two best friends competing for the same woman - they melted away after she met her co-star John Gilbert.
Interesting find.
A metal detectorist uncovered the gold King Henry III coin (pictured) dating to 1257, which is just under an inch in diameter, on farmland in Hemyock, Devon, in September last year.

Memories!
Can actually remember this I was about 19 at the time. Just goes to show how wrong some Occupational Therapists can be, they said I had lost my memory, husband did not agree! LOL.
Sir Winston Churchill was the country's Prime Minister during World War II from 1940-1945 and then again from 1951-1955. He died after suffering a stroke on January 24, 1965, aged 90, and his official funeral was held on January 30. His was the first state funeral for a non-royal family member since Lord Carson in 1935, and as of 2021 it remains the most recent state funeral in the United Kingdom. The official funeral lasted for four days.Planning for the funeral, known as Operation Hope Not, began 12 years before Churchill's death. It was initiated after Churchill's stroke in 1953 while in his second term as the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.
What a transformation!

Could this 'drug' really defend against Alzheimer's as promised? (yourlifechoices.com.au)
[I have been taking Probiotics for donkey's years and Telfast 180 to help my allergies]
Could probiotics be the key to Alzheimer’s prevention?Probiotics, the so-called ‘good' bacteria, may help prevent Alzheimer's.

Vitamin supplements may play a key role in the prevention of the onset of Alzheimer’s disease, according to a recent study conducted by scientists from Jiangnan University in China.
According to the website Medical News Today, the authors reported that, “consistently, our findings suggest that probiotic intervention at early stages of Alzheimer’s disease, such as MCI, could improve cognitive function and delay disease progression”.
MCI stands for Mild Cognitive Impairment, which is defined by Dementia Australia as “significant memory loss without the loss of other cognitive functions”. Sufferers of MCI have more memory problems than would be expected in someone at a similar age but are able to function independently and do not show other signs of dementia, such as impaired reasoning or judgement.
I have been under the weather of late with high blood pressure again and I have just realized why!
I have an allergy to Histamines and I have been eating strawberries and grapes!
Both high in histamines, it starts to affect my blood pressure about six hours after digesting them.
So I went looking for a comprehensive list of items with histamines that I am going to have to avoid.
Doctors are ignorant of this fact so there is no help from them; the Allergies said he cannot help me, but he says I am not just sensitive to histamines but allergic.
The Histamine Food list
I have noticed eat time I have high blood pressure I lose more weight, all my GP said to me was
'aren't you happy loosing weight'? So much for a GP so I have given him the push.
If you have friends that have sudden onsets of 'the runs' or high blood pressure you will need to try and find out if they have allergies to histamines, this is a new science there is more information in Britain than there is in Australia.
I made a job a few moths ago about dieing from fruit!
