Struggling

Not the wine!!! 

"The phrase is generally understood to be referencing the stereotypically overweight sopranos of the opera. The imagery of Wagner's opera cycle Der Ring des Nibelungen and its last part, Götterdämmerung, is typically the one used in depictions accompanying reference to the phrase. The "fat lady" is the valkyrie Brünnhilde, who is traditionally presented as a very buxom lady. Her farewell scene lasts almost twenty minutes and leads directly to the finale of the whole Ring Cycle.^[1] As Götterdämmerung is about the end of the world (or at least the world of the Norse gods), in a very significant way "it is [all] over when the fat lady sings."

So now you know. Lol. 

And I couldn't just now as I'm barking like a seal. But I used to be in all sorts of choirs, G+S societies, and amateur musical groups. So, yup, could def belt out a tune - so long as you like modern musicals. Lol. They have tunes in my current range!

My goal for today is to get discombobulating into a sentence, (in Yorkshire!?)  says it all!

The holiday is a reflection of the feeling that things are progressing and this might be the best chance of one, BP and AP (before pneumonia and after pneumonia) are so different. My husband and a very few friends have seen the difference. Lanzarote booked for 2 weeks time, all on line and not a young person in sight

Daloni it does feel good to have a plan B, and bad knowing that some of us are past that point. If the cancer markers are ok it'll be after Christmas and I don't think they'll pull out the heavy guns so not as tough as last time. 

Have a peaceful and warm night xx

Hi there finally I can never get my head round scan results sometimes mine are ready for consultant on my next appointment and other times not and sets me up with all the worry and anxious problems I suffer with as it does with all of us I have always been told all the worrying in the world won't change anything that's going to happen but sometimes you get a result you were not expecting and not prepared for at all like my scan results the other week at least you are planning a hols that is something to look forward to really enjoy yourself lots of love and hugsxxxx

Thanks Popgate, I'm usually good at not worrying but must admit I was very nervous yesterday. I had a few hours of trying to make sense of the information so far, and then decided than if a highly skilled Oncology team say it's complex I'll leave it to them. My breast cancer nurse is looking out for the scan results and if there are any major concerns they'll do a different scan.

I know what it's like to get unexpectedly good results too, mixed emotions because you're so pleased to have a reprieve but don't feel off the hook. So it's good that we have each other because no one else understands the way that you all do, and as I've said before, sometimes someone here can put into words something you're struggling with. Love and hugs to you too xx

Tinalay, You have my sympathies - my last scan report did not arrive and had to wait longer for the results. We didn't complain, but boyfriend emailed PALS to remind them how difficult the waiting is.
