Hi all,

We are a Sydney family looking to relocate down to Wollongong area. Port Kembla seems to interest us a bit.

Are we able to hear some positive/negatives for the area? We are the type of family that want a bit of a vibe…. One or two nice cafes for a Saturday morning, a decent pub, streets are relatively maintained kind of vibe. Is it sketchy? Are there young families about?

Sorry, I sound so ignorant but would love some honest feedback on the place! Note: I have never actually been to Port Kembla.

Hi all,

My dad (73) just got diagnosed with stage three Merkel cell carcinoma. To say our family is in shock is an understatement.

My dad is extremely positive about the whole thing so it’s my mum, but I can’t help but feel scared that it might all fail, the immunotherapy…

You can imagine where all my thoughts are going when you hear the words stage three, cancer and not only that but a rare and aggressive one…

I have been fearing the worst and imagining that this could be the thing that takes him away. I’ve been reading Reddit to try and see if there’s any positive stories out there but they are really hard to find.

I suppose I’m just writing here to ask for any stories about their story with MCC, or a loved one. The good and the bad I want to be realistic here.

Thank you for letting me vent
