Yesterday i went over the top in the chat room and upset a few people who did not like my sense of humour, to those i apologise i will be in the chat room again shortly and will apologise to each individual as i see fit. If they dont accept that people have off days then their loss, life with this disease is too short to mope about moaning about what we have, i am LIVING with cancer and hopefully NOT dieing from it. So until im bored and want to laugh the chat room will be out of bounds for me just incase someone upsets me at work then i'll take it out of them in the chat room. LOL

Thats my apology over now back to this rotten snowy weather and the big thaw ahead??? -15 on Tuesday morning driving to work along the fen road and into Lincoln where i work, my office heater had been left on by the guy who has been releving for me whilst i was off having my tonsils out sorry my left tonsil (singular) so i am eating what the doctor says will help the healing Jelly and few energy sachets in apple juice.

Even if i dont go back to the very "CLICKY" chat room i will still be posting blogs when ever i feel like it, and when ever i have anything to ask or say LOL

The pain is excruitiationg when ever i forget my tonsillectomy and tried to eat a few pringles and OUCH the vinegar gets in the healing tissue. it really really stung me wont try them again for a while LOL

will be seeing my consultant next week to review my treatment plan and just hope that he can hold it back till after the xmas break as i will want to woirk over the xmas period giving my guys time off to be with there kids, mine are grown up and all they want to do is eat sleep and drink so i will be better off at work, nothing to do with the triple time LOL

I have found that Princes apple juice from Morrissons is the best drink to soothe my throat giving me the vitamins too. its just hot coffee which i love is the only drink i cant drink at the moment i am also losing weight and hope i can keep it off over xmas.

More when i feel like it dinner over at work

Hi there,

I, too, have been caught out with my silly sense of humour. I, too, am living with cancer, rather than dying from it. Bad luck in bumping into others who may also have been having their 'off' day at the same time as you - that happens to me. I simply withdraw from the discussion, and either go and run a bath, or just let the talk move without me. It is almost impossible to speak freely, as I would with work friends - but then, I don't know any of these people,and they don't know me. I have learned to be careful, and even wary at times. We are such a diverse congregation, bumps are bound to happen at some point. Apart from referring to my own personal decisions lately, I just join in the subject and tell odd jokes when I can. I rarely speak openly, as I have found I upset/frighten/offend people. I do not mean to, but hey, thats life.

The Chatroom still remains the only cancer related support I have, so I continue to go there. Sometimes I just stay longer than other times! I am aware not everyone will have agreed with my personal information I have referred to lately - that to cease active treatment, but as my discussion on this has been reasonably brief, no-one has yet come back to me upset. Watch the space!!

Bad luck, Biggles. Keep at it, and I will see you in there. Good luck with the tonsils!!

Love,

Ali xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Biggles,

You can please some people some of the time but you can't please all of the people all of the time!

Everybody deals with things differently and there should be give and take on BOTH sides.

I am in agreement with you though it is far better to deal with this with a sense of humour and by laughing so keep up the good work!

Take care

X

Oh dear more chartroom problems.....I stopped going in over a year ago, because of fakes and bickering, up until then I loved it, I used to love the craic, the black humour, and also the serious stuff, there were times when I felt quite low, but after a few minutes in chat, I would have tears of laughter rolling down my cheeks, why oh why can some people not understand, LAUGHTER IS THE BEST MEDICINE, most of us "oldies" now keep in touch through Facebook,

Well Biggles you have just reminded me why I stopped visiting this site and more specifically the 'chat room'.

Specialists I appreciate, self appointed experts I can do without!

I've made some good friends via the aforementioned room and we talk elsewhere.

I can see where you are coming from regarding your sense of humour, I was even accused of not having cancer because I refused to let it rule my life, I didn't want or need cyber hugs and kisses or pseudo specialist advice.

Just keep up your blogs, someone will read them,

With best wishes,

Ummagumma
