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.

I’m an all or nothing person & it’s all at the moment. Chocolate eclairs & vanilla slices are my weakness after having no appetite for months & losing a stone since Christmas.. I’ll blame the steroies.
1 Gorgeous day today, 13 degrees & sunny.
2 Stair lift fitted & feel like royalty, can stay up as late as I like tonight.
3 Memory Walk has hit £1978!!! 2 and a half miles to finish our revised total of 26, my sister is coming for lunch tomorrow so we’ll finish it then, the original three just locally. Delighted and gobsmacked in equal measure.
Hi @Norberry,
I couldnt possibly say, but if the cap fits....
Its self inflicted I know but I had to ask. I was secretly hoping for SiTs name to rise to the top like a certain substance but you two obviously have your own little relationship?
Two grand and you never got wet once, someone is looking after you. And you can now get up the stairs drunk! Going to have to change this thread to' loads' of good things!
Good luck for tomorrow, a milestone. Xxx
Lovely to have a stair lift.
I am about the money for the memory walk .xx

Am sure there are more caps out there for anyone who wants one.
Firstly, CREAM rises to the top!!! & don't be including me in any cap fitting exercises - I've got enough problems with TheBastardHat as it is...
I'm not well you know
