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.

    If they tried it, you would never get them out. Mind you, you probably wouldn't want to get back in either. There would be some fair few unidentified bits floating around!

    We have a spa bath, used it once in a blue moon, that was a bargain! Not.

  • 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 Blush 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.

  • I made an apple crumble and put cinnamon in for the first time.

    I enjoyed reading my Dawn French novel

    my son had his brain scan results and it was clear. He had been having dizzy spells they think it is migrainous vertigo

    Doesn’t matter how ill we are ourselves- the thought of our children being ill is 100% worse.  I am so glad he is OK - must be a huge relief x
