I know that started this brilliant idea so I wanted to carry it on for her and as the forum has become a little gloomy recently as we face loosing them both soon.
So
1. daloni and dizzie outlasted their prognosis by years and I am sure proved that you can have quality of life despite doctors best guesses and we all benefited from knowing them on here.
2. I just got back from a fabulous holiday in Galicia, northern Spain. I walked more than I have for months (chemo pushed me into a wheelchair) the food and wine was fab and I met old friends and laughed a lot.
3. Macmillan have admitted that their upgrade has been a bit sh*t and are working on improving it. Hurrah for Macmillan who have admitted it didn't go well. How many organisations actually come out and say that.
I don't like to think that newbies think that we are a miserable lot, what struck me on here when I came was how much joy, laughter and living went on despite cancer.

The things we've all put up with during lockdown. Should have had new prescription lenses two years ago. No wonder it was all a bit blurry and I had headaches. Thankfully should be all sorted now. At least that's one bit of me that's still working reasonably!
My 3 things for right now:
1. I'm learning all kinds of new terms, like "naff" and "bricking it", that we don't use over here but I will now, very useful!
2. Had a great session with a cancer social worker, talking about dying, whether to have scans, and hospice.
3.That photo of yours makes me happy Stuart.
Congrats remoh!
