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.

Anyway Sal, if your neuropathy is caused by cancer treatments it's a different cause and effect. It does work for Type 2 diabetes though. But the idea is based on getting the fat out of the cells so that the insulin can get in and do its job [insulin resistance]. So a very low fat diet might help do this, weather vegan or not. It's just that animal products are full of fat so getting rid of them simply makes it easier. Hope you find a way of easing the discomfort. Rainie x

Just wish I'd whipped out my camera in time to photo. Brought tears to my eyes (all 3) but I'm an emotional wreck nowadays!

I am bumping this thread back up as it seemed to be lost. My 3 good things are all about valentines.
1. Hubby bought me a beautiful bunch of roses, my favourite.
2. We went out for a meal on valentines night, something we have never done before.
3. Is vey special. I will share a photo, and if you get it you will know how excited I am to be going in 2 weeks time.
