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.

These look like very good things!
1 The care plan is underway and going well. The carers are lovely and very thorough, 2 visits a day so very comfortable despite the humidity.
2 OH is cooking peppered steaks for me & my sister & our son is cooking for the vegans so another BBQ for us
3 It’s so peaceful today. OH very carefully hand trimmed the hedge and it’s opened up another line of activity amongst the smaller birds. Better than the telly!
I honestly don't know if I’ve already posted this, apologies if I have... Have a peaceful evening folks
xx
These are good things.
lovely weather for a BBQ?
Glad you are comfortable now with 2 visite a day xxx

It’s a bit muggy outside but the sun keeps coming out & the birds are in full song. Another bonus ruthjp because of all the problems getting hold of medication I’ve been given the main pharmacists mobile phone number and 24 hour access to it. They really are trying to make up for lost time xx
That’s good it’s important to feel you have access to help when you need it xxx
