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.

Hi ruthjp
Three good things indeed Ruth, sounds like you had a fantastic day. One of those days that you can put all the bad things in your life into a box, seal it tightly and enjoy the sunshine .
If I had a glass of wine in my hand I would raise it to you but then again if I had a glass of wine in my hand now at 5.30am I'd be worried lol.
Take care and stay safe Ruth.
