Food is a little restricted because of my surgery - I have no sense of smell and need to drink with each mouthful. But I do enjoy Asian foods and pastas and in general enjoy what food I can eat.
Unfortunately I enjoy sweets and chocolate which are a no no

I developed throat cancer 3 years ago, following radiation treatment the cancer came back after a few months and 2 years ago in May 08 my Larynx was removed (voice box) I now breathe through a hole in my neck and talk with a funny voice. BUT life is good and I enjoy each day. How do I remember my voice? - I remember it in my dreams and that way I sing better than ever. I also have an old answer machine message
I am very active in a Laryngectomee support group as secretary and write a monthly newsletter for the group.
I do what I can when possible to discourage smoking - the cause of my problems
I count myself fortunate that I have a loving wife who is my care giver and a supportive family and health system.
I am very interested in politics and was pleased when recently our (New) prime minister made an apology to the "Stolen Generation" of Aboriginees in our parliament.
