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.

Another three of the best chelle.
Although not how SiT used to enjoy them!
Thanks to everyone for the birthday wishes, it's even better now that we can meet the children and spend time together in person. We had a lovely walk up Mam Tor today and tomorrow we are visiting the Yorkshire Sculpture Park.

Hi Sal, Sorry I missed your birthday so belated best wishes! It must have been great seeing the family face to face and I'm sure. You enjoyed lots of birthday cuddles! You can't have a proper birthday without a (((hug))).
So sending a belated (((hug))) to you from me!
Love Annette x
Happy.belated birthday wishes from me too Salis sounds like you had a lovely day. Did you buy any cheese or wine? There’s plenty to see and do along that part of the Yorkshire coast. I remember taking the boys to the Dracula museum, they claim to be still traumatised! Of course the best bit would be seeing the family. xx
We took our son to the Dracula museum when he was little, he had his eyes firmly shut all the way around!

1. Latest blood test results are good
2. Consultant recognised my anxiety and is keeping 3 monthly checks
3. Consultant made me laugh, she’s an unusual character, I guess not everyone’s cup of tea, but I’m warming to her. She made me laugh as her advice was so ridiculous but well meant.
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
