Keep your mind on things you can and want do now. and who do you want to go with you. Of course get your paper work together- but that should be ready at all times- anyone could be hit by a bus. 

First thing I did after finding a fine oncologist was to make my bucket list. What did I want to see, what did I want to do, even the littlest things, a meal or a walks or rewatching a funny movie. Another question: what was I leaving as a legacy. How to help those you leave behind. 

Well my original list is now checked off and I’m starting a second bucket list.  The pandemic is a slight bother- serious travels must wait until I get the monoclonal antibody against Covid.

Then I have to convince my family/friends that they want to go too! Lol. I think that planning has helped me. I exercise for an hour daily (almost) with my friend in Wyoming (talking on the phone) we start off with a exercise bike 30 minutes and then use dumbbells, exercise bands and cords. For core and upper body strength. 

So this may be a good time for your list. And grand babies! Stay strong, exercise , eat well and find your joy(s). Plan and look forward to events and have a good mind set- it all helps to fight cancer and can cheer up people around you. A cancer diagnosis is hard on our families - sometimes I do funny things just to make them laugh. It works.

Hugs to all,

Hi Little Fi

I have never been told any details as to what my PDL1 was, and I am on Pembrolizumab , a type of immunotherapy, as a 2nd line treatment. I seem to just get the minimum amount of info!

Hope your treatment works well for you xx

Hi little-fi,

Pleased to meet you albeit via the electronic route. Although I am not a member of your original group and do not know the scope of your treatment or potential treatment, I thought that a post offering support and encouragement was the least I could do. I do know what you mean about being grandparents though. We have two grandsons (4 & 3) and they are a pair of roasters, they keep me on my toes although I`m exhausted when they leave, but we love them to bits.  Hope your treatment goes well. Stay strong, stay positive.

Take care, Tom.

Millie, Debs & Tom,

just wrote a lengthy reply only for it to vanish into thin air! I haven’t got the time to do it all again so just want to say thank you for your replies & encouragement & I wish you all well. Be on again soon to catch up!
