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.

Sorry Christine, didn't mean to be crass. You are a nice lady wherever you live.
Think twice, post once, that's me in future!
Life is too short to worry about stuff like that Ted, as we all know. What is getting on my wick today is the amount of hair I am shedding. I thought I'd escaped that but no, there's hair everywhere. What a mess!
Oh Christeeniee, I'm so sorry to hear that, it must be one of the worst things that can happen to a lady and it should NEVER be the subject of humour.
Take care and stay safe Christeenie

Thanks Tvman. Luckily I've had time to prepare for it but I really thought I'd escaped it. Chemo does it's stuff again eh??
