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.

Thank you Ruth. Got some eyeliner and lippy on today and the most I'll do is clean the bathroom! But I'll look lovely if the postie knocks at the door
Earrings and lippy might be a step too far for you. Having said that Eddie Izzard manages. Rainie xxx
Hi christeeniee, sorry for late response, but you are looking good, long may it last.
All the best Ulls
1. Our son came up from down south for an overnight visit
2. Our daughter popped in for an hour ( 13 hrs later we popped her in a cab, she’ll have to collect her car later)
3. I’m between med regimes so can drink. ( went to bed 3am up at 7 to feed cats). I think may not be hungover as I may still be drunk
Richard
be safe, be nice, be you
That sounds great Richard. Like Ruth said, family times are good times.
Christine
1. Pizza and wine night with wife and daughter last night first time in weeks
2. Had a few weeks between meds so had no side effects and full taste buds and appetite
3. New meds arrived this morning so time to give the cancer a hefty kick again hopefully
