I have been "terminal" now for around 18 months and my last scan in December showed stability so my consultant thinks I'll be around for a while but I'm now struggling to book things in advance like theatre tickets, I don't want to push my luck or jinx anything. How do you get past that?

    Pet, everytime you get out of bed you get more and more disgraceful  you can think these things but you can't say them.

    In the end you just stop worrying and get on with things. It is not possible to worry forever, it takes different amounts of time to come to that conclusion, but everybody does eventually and so will you.xxxx

     you certainly have given me a kick start to be a lot more ambitious in my ideas, and it’s given me a massive boost so thank you for that xx

  • Glad to have helped  I think all of those lucky enough to have a long “terminal” journey find a point where we dare to plan and say to hell with fate
