Hi Poppy
Sorry to hear that you are feeling blue today... you are right it does sometimes rain heavily on our parade doesn't it.
I am sure no one will frown on you for raising a few glasses tonight, in fact I am sure Darlo would clink your glass for it.
Let it out to us, we are all here with you and most of us are reeling from it too. I am cooking a fry up for tea to help me tonight
Hi Poppy,
I think we’ve all been stunned by the sad new we got yesterday, I’ve actually found it very hard to come on here today but here I am and I’ll join you in that drink, however I’ll have to steer clear of the wine cos if I go down that road I’ll be in no fit state to get out of this lockdown
Hi Poppy, Gina and Julie.
I am having a Bacardi tonight, and raising my glass to Darlo. It always shakes the group when we lose a friend, especially one as special as Darlo. But we have to remember why we are here, to support each other through the good and the bad. As Darlo would say
onwards and upwards
Hello all, I know I haven't been on this site for long, I am so sorry to hear the news of ur friend Darlo, I had swapped a few messages back and forth with him, but I know I won't feel it as sore as you guys. Again I am so sorry, thinking of you all xx
Hi Gsd.
Thankyou - It’s good to hear from you and that you’re nearly through your radiotherapy. I hope you manage to get some enjoyment from your little break in treatment and that the radiotherapy has done its job and you can get back on immunotherapy. Take care and keep in touch
