Lovely morning chit chat March 2026

All these regal photos of cats make me laugh. 

My Faith seems to think she is in charge of the world but it seems she has competition. Oops... I think she she heard me... (must be more quiet!)

Hi everyone.  Did you have treatment yesterday Angie?  I hope you are resting (other than looking after your queen).  Maybe Faith can be Princess Faith Susan.

A long but interesting read

Faith would be scandalized by the idea of being "only" a princess. But she'd consider "supreme ruler".

Thank you Patrick for the link. I think it is really well written and resonate with my situation.

I feel now I am in the long middle / extra time bit. Before my op, I know pretty much I have another 12-18 months max but now that time frame is extended to 4-5 years on average, one never knows. I feel confused psychologically and actually more stressed because of it. I would like to stick to my mental state before the operation. As she put living is not about productivity / doing but simply about being. I hope I can hold on to this rather than going back to my old self.

How are you doing? Hope immunotherapy is kind to you.

Hi

I had a busy weekend. Friday in London with pre op assignments, haircuts, dinner with friends, managed 12,000 steps. Had my bronchoscopy biopsy on Saturday and was given a corner suite with a giant living room. 
Bach home , went a farm market and Sunday lunch with friends. 
Now having a cup of tea with daffodils from the garden including the new variety the apricot double petals one. 

How is everyone’s weekend? X

Evening Lee, yes I had my injections and got my chemo tablets for the next 3 weeks. How are you getting on? Has been a bit cooler here so enjoyed a quiet day with my feet up. Hug from

Susan, can’t have Faith being left out. Hope this makes you laugh as it made me. Big hug from

Ha ha now we have three regal felines.  It sounds like you are on similar treatment to me Angie.  I have 3 weeks on the 1 week off then in for injection and get meds.  I have the hospice phoning me today and I really don't know what to say to them or what they can do for me at this point.  Oncologist recommended it not sure why, anyone else use their services?

You certainly had a busy, productive weekend Stella.  Has your hair grown back now?  I have never seen such beautiful daffodils Stella, I didn't know you could get apricot color ones.  They are gorgeous.  Thank you for the link Patrick will have a read.
