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 everyone
My 3 good things for today
1. It's my birthday today, I'm 63. When I was diagnosed in March 2015 I didn't think I would see.my 60th but now 6 years later I'm still here.
2. My daughter and little 5 year old almost grandson left me a video wishing me a happy birthday. I haven't seen them for over a year but I hope to see them next month if the restrictions are lifted.
3. My only sibling left, my brother, phoned me at midday and also wished me a happy birthday. I had forgotten to let him know my good news that my neutrophils were 1.10 so he was pleased to hear that. Again, I haven't seen him for over a year and we talked about seeing each other soon which we're both happy about.
Take care and stay safe everyone

More good news tvman Happy, happy birthday! These phone calls and videos are so precious in these awful times. I have everything crossed that the restrictions will be lifted so that you and your lovely family can have real life cuddles next month.
