Awake and up all night

Thanks excavator  He certainly doesn't, but tbh he's hard to guage and I have to prise everything out of him, if he's in pain etc. He's tougher than I gave him credit for - Yorkshire grit

Peggy you won’t pull me down and I’m sure you’re not a burden to your family …I’ve made a friend request to you so if you want to chat in private we can. When did you have your infusion?

Eddie, you are the 'man glue' of this thread.  Always there to help stick things together!

I'm just a part timer, a joker (in my good moods).

It's good to mix with others with different cancers.  In a perfect world, there wouldn't be any cancer!!!

Now that's all true Steve, especially with you being the joker in the pack!  

But like Eddie said previously, would big pharma want to give cancer a silver bullet? I doubt that 100% but then I doubt everything we're told.

And on that cheery note, I'll wish you a good day xxx any hols in the pipeline?

Well we're down in a National Trust cottage in Leicestershire for the week.  Total peace and tranquility!!

Nothing planned for abroad yet.

That sounds fab! Loads of wind and rain here for hours but the sun's just come out. Boo, hiss! I really don't like it but hopefully the weather's kind down there for you.

If only that were true about the world being a perfect place and no one suffering from cancer ever again. It's nice to keep hope alive that someday there will be a miracle cure that can end all cancer overnight, but as Gill and Eddie mentioned, it's doubtful big pharma would want to lose their control.

Our family doesn't have an ongoing history of cancer, other than my one aunt who battled breast cancer. Me being the youngest in our family, I'm always grateful that it was me and not my older sisters in this fight. They would trade places with me in a heartbeat if they could, but it has to be me.

Someday's it's all just more overwhelming than others, the pain and lack of sleep wears you down little by little.

Aw Stacey, what a lovely, thoughtful thing to say, but I've no doubt your sisters would swap places with you if they could.

I'm from a very large family and there have been many cancers down the line, including both parents and grandparents. I'm pretty certain I'm playing dodge and that includes strokes on both sides of the family too. My philosophy is if it happens, I'll deal with it then.

How are you doing today my lovely? As good as you can do hopefully. Hey, after all the talk of films and dramas yesterday, I decided to follow your lead and watched the first episode of IT: Return to Derry at 4.30 this morning. It was pretty good viewing with a cuppa and the wind and rain lashing on the window. Thanks for the nudge hon. Big hugs xxx

Enjoy your break.

Have a peaceful break Steve!
