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.

We have my husbands 2 brothers coming to visit us today. Which is lovely. Iam a bit stressed by it though.
We haven’t seen the one brother and his wife for over 2 years.
we will all go out to lunch with my grown up children and Kates new husband. So they can meet him and come back and watch the wedding video as they missed the wedding

Hi Ruth, I think meeting up with people after everything we've all experienced these past two years is a stressful experience. My cousin and her husband came to visit us this week. They had collected their new camper van and made a round trip seeing family on their way home.
I wanted to see them but felt rather apprehensive at the same time. As it turned out it all went off much easier than I had imagined. We were all still careful and sensible, so I was able to relax and enjoy it.
Hope you have a good positive day. Rainie x
Thanks for understanding. The lunch out went well. Everyone chatted and got on well.
they all enjoyed watching the wedding video and catching up after a long time.
I am exhausted today though. It seems to take a lot me. I will doze a lot today and be fine tomorrow
Ruth
Thanks Stuart. You take it easy now. Safe trip. Rainie x
