Lovely morning chit chat - February 2026

Thank you Patrick and Angie, everyone on this forum has been so kind to me, and made a positive impact on my life. I can leave my log in info and how to find this specific thread with my family so maybe one of them can give an update at some point. We're not leaving here today until early afternoon.

Hi

MrTvman hope you and Mrs have a wonderful time at your son’s. Must be lovely to spend time with the new grandchild. Hope the ferry crossing is not too rough. 
Fingers crossed that your blood will improve soon. 
My review appointments went well. The consultant said I have really beaten the odds! Will have another CT scan next week then they will debate on whether I need any adjuvant chemo. I hope not!  
Take care

Hi Angie and Lily 

Glad your are feeling better and gradually regaining your strength. 
Winston is quite happy since I am at home all the time. He sends hugs to lily. 

Will be thinking of you Stacy for tomorrow’s operation and the coming days. Wish you all the best. You can do it!

lots of love

Hi Stella, whether you need chemo or not, you have made a huge step in the right direction. Well done!

You are welcome and remember: attitude is more important than the best medicine. That's why people find their way onto this forum and you did for the benefit of yourself and others. Chat again soon

Thank you Patrick. I have whinged on at the consultant about not wanting any more chemo. Since I still have open wounds, I don’t think it is possible anyway. By the time wounds healed up it hopefully would be too late to have chemo. 

Good morning Stella and Winston. I am positive you will make the right choice for yourself about treatment once your wounds have healed. It’s not easy being us sometimes, isn’t it. Lilly is sending love back to Winston. She is still in hibernation mood and naps a lot. Should change back to her usual bouncy self in a few weeks when the weather gets more benign. Every year the same with her  I can’t believe that she will be 14 in April. It just seems like yesterday that she was a tiny kitten. The years have just flown past so quick in retrospect. Have a lovely day with your furry friend. Love from 

Angie and Lilly xx

Good morning 

I need a dose of your positivity this morning 

I’ve had a great weekend but this morning I’m waiting for the consultant to call to say if my bloods are fine for the next dose of chemo and I’ve got my chest drain being done at midday 

goodness knows why but this is making me so stressed this morning my chest is tight and I’m breathless 

trying to  do deep breathing I really don’t want to resort to oramorph every time this happens 

Hi everyone. I am thinking of Stacy today. Praying everything goes well.

Stella, Winston looks adorable. I hope you continue to heal well, but my thoughts are with you regarding the chemo. 

Angie I don’t know where the time goes. I often sit here and think of the days when my girls were small, those were my happiest days, and now they are all grown women living their best lives. It makes me sad and miss those days so much. 

Scared bunny, I hope you are ok. Anxiety is horrible, and can really make you feel breathless. I hope the consultant gives you good news about your bloods. 

Patrick have you had any more thoughts on a dog. We have had Alfie for nearly a year now. He’s definitely been my most challenging pup but I wouldn’t be without him now.
