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.

    Dear oh dear, that is mightily impressive  I do always make the tea and get things ready to cook, then I retire to watch Wheeler Dealers whilst cooking noises emanate from the kitchen.

    When the OH has not been up to the job, heart surgery and all of those excuses, of course the tomato omelette makes an appearance along with loads of things that go 'ping' when they are ready.

    Like they said about me in school, I must try harder! 

    I have been shown up and lessons learned. Thank you. Xxxx.

  • Oh Ruth, you look lovely. Your daughter will be so very proud of you on the day! I hope the sun shines for you all!

    Love Annette x

    Yesterday is History, Tomorrow is a Mystery, Today is a Gift!!!
  • How beautiful Ruth, and such a lovely day to look forward to. X

  • My three good things today

    1. I have finished my chemotherapy, so I spoke to my line manager and am going back to work (from home) on a phased return next Wednesday
    2. I've had a lovely lazy afternoon lying in the sun on our decking reading a fantasy novel
    3. I've spent money on a new outfit for the first time since my diagnosis; my niece is getting married in July. I hope it fits!

    I have the best 3 good things...,

    my niece is expecting baby no 3 on the 2nd Nov Blush After so much bad news & a bereavement in the last year this news has given us all a massive boost!

    the sun was warm, the museum gardens were in full bloom & the birdsong was incredible today.

    Lunch was delicious & the owner of the cafe went to a lot of trouble to find a good spot for us. Everyone seemed to be in a really good mood today, & York was quiet enough to feel comfortable  strolling about. xx
