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.

1. Wife and I walked around Wakehurst Gardens, 5 mins from us, sunny and not too cold, had coffee and pain au chocolate. Sophisticated see.
2. Got some friends coming Sunday evening so my feminine side will be dragged out of the cupboard and used to do women's work.

Sounds like a lovely day out. It is much better to have some sunshine to be able to get out and do things.

My 3 good things
Actually had second chemo in this cycle yesterday, bloods fine, no covid positive patients near me.
New chemo is really speedy - 5 mins for actual infusion plus then flushes etc, so yesterday in and out in less than one hour - brilliant. Down to a super effcient speedy nurse who doesnt hang around about it. And had chat w
ith my socialist nurse mate from 2 years ago ( a good rant is so cathartic dont you agree Norbs?)
Took dogs out to enclosed space today and remembered to take a ball - old dog running and fetching enthusiastically. Fat dog liked the idea, but not the actuality. Good entertainment, And he says I can call him fat since his given name is Biggs.
