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.

    1. We saw, rather than just heard, a woodpecker on our dog walk this morning. I have never actually seen one pecking before. 
    2. The council have been to repair the potholes outside of our gate and they've done an amazing job. They've built a perfectly smooth ramp from our drive to the road. 
    3. I slept so hard last night after taking a sleeping pill, that I missed Arnie throwing up three times and eventually being allowed onto our bed. Guilty joy at that one, poor Debbie.

    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.

    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.
