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.

Yes thank you for thinking of me. I was glad I was there because even though all looked well and the heart beat was fine. They think she may have gestational diabetes.
they have referred her to the hospital and we will see what happens today. She and the baby have too much fluid. My daughter Kate is worried but it is good she had this extra scan which she paid for privately and has now been referred back to the NHS

I think these will last a while yet. I'm in Aberdeenshire so fairly far north. Still got loads of buds yet to open
I didn't realise you were a foreigner. Annette is one as well so you are not in your own.
I have picked up a few languages on here. Australian from Pet1964. Essex from Ellie73 and posh from Rainieday. Scottish was a bit difficult because Annette was always drunk.
I try to be inclusive and I think from posts of gratitude I receive I am successful..
I'm probably drunk every other day so you should be able to understand me sometimes....
