Hi everyone
I am just trying to navigate myself around the site. Still struggling, but thought I would try and make a temporary place for the WTBT folk as we are all wandering round like lost souls at the moment- don't know if this will work- but worth a shot while Mac try and resurrect the old thread

Hi Donna,
Quick indeed, it doesn't seem that long ago since you were having varying experiences with weekends away. What a beautiful part of the world you live and you will be in our thoughts on Monday.
Lots of love to you.
Doreen and Martyn XXXX
Donna the fact that so many will be joining you to celebrate Lee's life says much about how loved and respected he was. Will be thinking of you.
Y&Y, it must be a time of sadness and anxiety for you but the fact that you are with your man to cuddle him will, I am sure, bring him comfort and peace.
Paul did see the Oncologist after his RT this afternoon. He said that the sudden deterioration in balance is unlikely to be the result of the RT and he advised us to start Paul back on Dex again to see how things go and to ring him next week if I am still concerned. He had 4 mg of Dex when we got in and is sleeping on the sofa now. Poor old love, he seems to be tired constantly now.
Well I shall see whether therer is anything worth watching on the TV so will say goodnight. Hope everyone has as good a weekend as possible.

Hi Mollie / Donna,
I have been wondering how you are doing.
Strange days, so much to organize, so much shock.
It also went quickly at the end with my sweetheart.
Stay strong. I know you will. We'll all be thinking of you on Monday.

I was wondering, there were a lot of people who didn't post very often on the old Mac site but came on from time to time. I was wondering if those people have managed to navigate and find us again?
I hope so - that was what made me so mad and sad when Mac changed a perfectly nice site into a maze. So I was wondering, if anyone is reading who used to post but haven't lately, it would be nice to hear from old friends. I hope you will make a post if you feel like it and say hello.
Thinking especially of Keith but many others as well.

Hi Miggins and everyone xx
I am an oldie! I am around and do continue to read the WTBT and it is a huge source of strength for me, especially now the humour has returned. If I can ever be of any help to anyone please message me, I am not always a quick responder but I eventually get there. My thoughts are very much with you all xx

I get all the posts emailed to me from this thread but I haven't posted lately as I am finding it difficult at the moment. All the best.
Lozzy - you're part of the staff on the train aren't you? Though I bet you don't get paid by the Driver? xx
Padster, It's good to hear from you. I remember your posts. I can well understand things are very hard for you. I also go into Chat sometimes just to see manic human contact. And it is manic! Tests my speed typing. You are always welcome here. xx

CH and Mollie, I take great comfort from yourselves that the final deterioration was so quick in the end. I can't bear the thought that my mum might go through weeks / months of terrible times.
My mum is continiuing to do really well. When she's dressed up adn got her wig on you wouldn't know that she was ill at all. She is on the Flower Arranging team for Gloucester Cathedral and was there all Friday morning arranging these huge garlands that hang from some of the pillars. She has an MRI scan boked for January. In Septmeber the scan showed no sign of regrowth. If January's scan shows some regrowth will they automatically do another debailk, or do they wait until it's got to acertain size before they do a debaulk? It just seems so unfair that when she's doing so well that will all be taken away to do the debaulk. So what might actually happen?

Morning Fellow Travellers (oh makes us sound like ♫Gypsies, Tramps & Thieves ♫ - gonna have that song in my head all day now).
Just wanted to say, I've finally woken up HEADACHE FREE, took 6 bloomin days to shift it and paracetamol didn't help....just had to let it run its course. I suffered heaps with headaches before my "Tonic Clonic" where was the gin I wonder and my neuro-surgeon told me the resection would probably not cure me of them, however it did. So now when I get one it seems to polaxe me completely!
Another piece of good news is our car went into the garage on Weds for fixing, although the part won't come in till next Mon/Tues, we have a brand new fiesta to play with all weekend. Off to Hyde Park WinterWonderland tomorrow and no I am NOT going iceskating - too chicken with the 4 bolts in my bonce! I will just take my camera and hide behind that and stuff my already chubby face with some German Gingerbread
Love & Strength to those who need or want it.
Good morning all, brass monkey's here but no snow.
What another good Miggins idea, if those readers just posted their name to let us know they had found us, that would be great and ease our concerns. A sort of register and I can visualise Queenie with a mortar board and cane all ready to deal with non attendees, ooh what a thought on a cold morning, me first, me first!
Hi Lorraine, what did she say? Get paid!!!! that's coronary language. XXXX
Best wishes to all,
