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 went in for the first day to update my laptop, but I'll be working from home until June, I'm supposed to be shielding for 6 weeks after the end of my chemotherapy.

I blame you for oversharing Tinalay but I need to know if you got in the bath ok and whilst in it did your hairdresser groom you and feed you grapes.
I shouldn't get into trouble for this post as I was encouraged!
Just off to my middle sisters house whilst the estate agent shows round prospective buyers. I don't want anyone in the house, it looks like a posh persons house now, evidence of slovenly living has been banished. It will all be back to normal, dead bananas and maltesers all down the back of the settee and nothing put into the diswasher very soon. Xxxx
My reference to the inanimate state of the bananas has elicited a trigger warning. I didn't know they were part of a vulnerable group.
Yep, you should have warned us that you were going to mention deceased fruit. Years of therapy wasted...
