Oh, Marydean to you too, for all you are experiencing. Thank you for your advice. I will definately check out some of the books and visualisation CDs that you recommend. I am seeing a GP on Monday who is also a natural therapist (acupuncture, chinese medicine) and I have increased the amount of raw fruits and vegetables in my diet (I am a vego anyway so that isn't hard). I am also cutting down on my beloved dark chocolate (not as hard as I thought). Now that DS is 10 weeks old I am aiming to incorporate regular exercise into my life again. Thanks for your words of wisdom and comfort.

Thanks Mitzy81, your info was useful. I had a consultation with a plastic surgeon on the Gold Coast on Tuesday. He will be removing the BCC in a week and a half...$700 later I think this will be like a walk in the park for him! Thanks again.
