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 that gives me absolution, please go ahead. A long way away.
I am glad you had a good day and lots of visits.
I am going for a walk with my daughter today which I am really looking forward to.
she is really excited they have a new wedding date for June 3rd and they will have 30 people and she can wear her dress we bought over a year ago.
we are ordering take away fish and chips for tomorrow evening xx

I think you've got the hang of this idea Stuart. You can't beat fish and chips.
3 Good things
1 I rang my son's to give them good news. They dread phone calls for me and I'm over the moon to be able to break that cycle.
2 I got the car taxed & MOT'd and gave it to my niece. It feels so good to be able to give practical help to my family, they've been through so, so much.
3 I had my first PT session with someone I like and trust, and he's really funny too. Not at all phased, he's a former policeman and was pretty high up the food chain, and not taking on new clients because he's so busy. But he's taken me on. xx
I absolutely love that you're lovin' it!!!!
You GO Girl!!!
