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.

Well... You all had to know THAT was coming...
Much Ben&Jerry's was harmed in the making of this SiTSilli Production although ALL of it before Xmas as I have been advised to cut out as much refined sugar as possible...
Should everything go downhill at my 1 year cancerversary scan you can rest assured that the B&J's will take one helluva battering shortly thereafter!!!
That sounds like torture rather than good things if you can't eat the stuff. I eat lots of ice-cream in my week off treatment, and since I'm having two weeks off this time I'll be eating double lots!

I'll think of you with my next portion SiT, I'm not so adventurous with flavours, it will be vanilla.

3 good things since getting home at 7.30 last night
Lovely welcome from Sula. She’s a bit wary of the walker & barks at it every time it moves. Cairn terriers are not known for being affectionate, but she’s been cuddled up to me & every now & then turns round to share an adoring look.
Saw my sister & niece. It did us all so much good. My sister looked terrified when she arrived but we all had a good laugh & it was so good to see her relax.
Slept like a log! Only up once with minor appliance issue, easily sorted.

Good morning Tinalay. It all sounds as if you have things sorted as well as you can. You have a lot of relaxing to catch up on. I am so glad your sister could see that you were coping OK, our families suffer more than us I believe.
I do hope everything continues to settle down at home. Dont let any incompetent through the front door either.
As much love as I am allowed to give before you husband gets concerned! Xxxxxxx
Marvellous T - Well Done YOU!!!
Now enjoy a little more rest and then get back to telling Norberry off!!!
Not me tho' 'cos I'm not well either... Hahaha
Lovely for you the home welcomed by a dog as only they can.
lovely to see your family. Good to have a proper sleep in your own bed. Hope it goes well from here for enough help x
