Lovely morning chit-chat thread- March 2025

1. We are all like a yo yo all sent to try you,   and push you to a darker place, though we are stronger than what we think, and can rise above it, and we do at times.
2. I have been doing this a long time, and at times  you have and will rise above it.

I did ask  my oncologist in February, a question I  have never asked before, when do I say enough is enough, she gave me the answer and I said, well i am not going any where  yet.

So yes onwards and upwards, with head heled high.

Hi Ellie, cancer is not my only, or indeed first rodeo, and as you say my friend, we may get thrown off the horse from time to time, but we find a way to climb back on, as I too believe we have an inner strength we fined when we need it most,

I had my chemo today so I should able to go to Mallorca next Friday! Booked the flights at last minute too.

I have also bought a what I thought was a beautifully decorated wide opening flower pot. But Craig said it reminds him of commode/ chamber pot! Well it is on the bedroom windowsill hope he /Winston would not pee in it! 

Patrick - hope your stomach will recover soon. I think people generally find immunotherapy easier to tolerate than chemotherapy.

Lee 2 - low neutrophil is quite a common side effect. My was just above 1 for a while. But since I had a 20% dose reduction it has been up to 2.7. Som people swear by eating dark chocolate or special honey. I am not so sure. 

Alana - hope you are doing well with Lily. 

Ellie  and Eddie - we just have to keep going along this bumpy and mysterious road. 

Love from Stella & Winston 

Hi Stella, I hope your feeling ok after chemo, and great to hear your booked for Mallorca, and I hope you have a wonderful time. 

I'm sure your flower pot is lovely, and if you like it,  that's the main thing, what will you be putting in it, I look forward to seeing what you do.

Hi all, I am off to the Netherlands for a few days, windmill spotting, I’ll catch up with you all next week. Be careful in the garden ellie 73  no more falling over x 

Have a lovely time Chelle and enjoy.

I was very aware of the garden was nice to get out from the house.

Have a wonderful time Chelle, will you be flying or going on the ferry,  our favourite way. We have a trip to the Highlands and a wedding at the Scilly's, take care.

Enjoy your trips chellesimo and eddiel . 

One of my crochet frogs sold today,  so pleased it was deemed worthy by someone and has raised a little money too =)

Awww thanks Lex, that's the plan, and well done selling one of your frogs, where do you sell them, I have lots of grandkids who would like one.

Thanks eddiel , just selling them at the community cafe/garden I volunteer at in Aberdeen. You did say you would be in the Highlands...? Lol! 2 of the other volunteers made the majority of the froggies, I made 2 and also some fimo fridge magnets. First time in decades I'd used fimo and really enjoyed it.
