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.

They are scared of the hot tub, Io will come within arms reach, Phoebe just trembles on the back step.

Our hot tub was a Costco bargain, its an inflatable one, I've been pleasantly surprised at how comfy it is. It's fine with two people, but it is for four. You need to be very happy being intimate when there are four people in it!

And another good day!
1 Booked a cleaner She’s also a very good friend and was completely un phased by the changes here.
2 Had a call from my Macmillan nurse, she sounds lovely. She’s coming next week to draw up an Advanced Care Plan but assured me she’s also geared up for any emergency.
3 My sister came round again & did some flower arranging. My sitting room is bursting with beautiful spring flowers.

Each of those good things is worth ten brilliant things. I don't know about you but you are making me very happy. Xxxxx
How lovely it is all working so well for you.
