A Mackay breast cancer survivor has reflected on her health journey to mark Thursday’s World Cancer Day.
Simone Baker, 47, is currently receiving radiation therapy for breast cancer at Icon Cancer Centre Mackay with the same doctor who treated her dad four years earlier.
Ms Baker said having a cancer centre available locally had made her treatment much easier.
“My dad had lung cancer and four years ago, when he needed radiation therapy, he had to travel to Townsville to receive his treatment,” she said.
“I feel very lucky to now be able to receive my treatment locally with the same doctor.
We’ve already told you the stories of murderous teachers and college professors. We’ve even told you about teachers who completely lost their minds. On the flip side, some students frequently cause trouble for teachers and other students. But we like to think that parents are the voice of reason when there’s a problem with their kids at school.
Yes, teachers have to deal with angry parents at times. But these parents usually just verbally abuse teachers whenever they believe their children are being mistreated. However, some parents go further and violently attack their children’s teachers.
