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.

Alright, alright, calm down, just a joke. No need to get even. Very funny though.

2. car passed its MOT without anything needed! ( and its ancient)
3. Doc told me tumour markers down, just CT scan due now to see if new treatment is holding things.
Well OBS, you are not going to get a better three things than that for a while. A diverse mixture. Lets see that scan showing more good things. Xx
3 good things
1 Another good day. My sister came over and although she was tearful at first we had a really good talk today. She’s playing catch up from the 10 days in hospital with no visitors & no chance to speak to anyone in my team.
2 A friend dropped off delicious home made soup.
3 Another friend dropped off vanilla slices and magazines.
Too cold & dreary to go out but looks like it’s going to be a bit milder tomorrow xx
This is another top notch day for you. I feel for your sister, I do think its worse for friends and family.
La Norbette and I had a scrap some time ago when we were both fed up over who was more ill.
I thought I'd aced it by saying I am going to die, she came back with ... and I will be left behind!
I was really put out and asked my Mcm nurse for her opinion. She said " neither of them are good bets" Made me laugh.
I was surprised that I didn't win outright but now I firmly believe all our family's sufferings are dire. I bet they never have a good day from the worry, I know mine don't.
Where was I, oh yes, congrats on a great day,, vanilla slices, lovely jubly. Xxxxxxxx sorry, shouldn't have waffled.
3 good things are exactly that, 3 good things. Not for me to go off piste and upset the moment.
I need to go straight back to the naughty step, no cookies, no pleasantries. Please make me suffer, I will be the better for it.
