Still here, prognosis given in December was 6-24 months. Just back from a week in Yorkshire.
Am on watch and wait with 3 month scans and follow up phone call with results. As there is no treatment for me - Sarcoma - in leg, it’s slowly spreading, now in lungs pancreas and abdomen. Advancing slowly though and am told I look amazing. That’s a first !!
Daughter over for 3 weeks from Europe with her little dog so that’s good and we are going to a Festival at end of month with 2 of my sons. Hoping to embarrass them as didn’t think I would make it this far.
I think my saying of the month is
Make hay while the sun shines,

Have great fun embarrassing your sons. I think we knocked all the embarrassment out of our kids when they were small, we can't do it anymore!
Good luck with the watch and wait, I am on that too.
