It's snowing. Have a very soft and delicate snowball or two.

Needles and Pins - The Searchers.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZFHpEINyZ-E That's what Sonny Bono was doing when he wasn't being Mr Cher...

Yes! Do that! You can sort it all out once it's done with. Do it without guilt. Eat what you can and when you can. Chemo will end and life will change again. My doctor described it as a 'roller coaster' and she was right but she neglected to explain that it didn't have the fun bit! Take care of yourself! I'm always so pleased to hear how you're doing!

So, let me see if I've understood this. You disappear for 14 years, then turn up and ban someone without so much as a hello! And there's no sign of your having asked for leave. Absent without leave is a bannable offence all on its own. Banned! And welcome back! How's it been away from thread of The Banned?

@binchickendreaming - Then I shall send you more best wishes and hope it goes as smoothly as possible. My happy thing is that our little Collie - very severely abused for the first two and a half years of her life, terrified of people, said 'Hello' to a delivery person! She (The Collie) was all waggy and friendly. I was soooo proud of her! And so very delighted that there is at least one person in the world she is unafraid of!

They may have told you that they've found cancer cells adapt to types of chemo so changing the chemo gives a much much better chance of zapping the thing. Some people's bodies are less sensitive to the chemo but for some (like you) it's very very debilitating. How much more do you have to go? Have they said? You are so in my thoughts. Lots of best wishes are winging their way to you!

No, it won't be stressful. You are going to be excited in a positive way! And if you're not - so what! It will be stress only for a short time. No big deal - unless you let it be. You have my very very best wishes!

@drsemmelIt's getting late here or I'd be listening to Hanging on the Telephone or Heart of Glass! Thank you!

Nice one for *that* Monday!

Good luck with it all! That is really good news indeed! It's nice to hear when things make people happy. It makes me smile too. Thank you for sharing!

@Morticia01 - I hope it's much better than you think it might be. Could add Boomtown Rats, or Floyd, or Mamas and Papas but I was talking about Karen this morning. Still miss that wonderful, irreplaceable voice... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PjFoQxjgbrs

That reminded me of this: You Can Close Your Eyes - James Taylor https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4j8m_S0S14

@Pickysaurus - thank you! The feeling the pain is returned. You people do a fabulous job. Never doubt that. My forum is tiny. (I have run quite big ones but this one could fit in my study!) My husband - retired software engineer - wrote a challenge. But mostly I can tell if it's a spammer. The google is a pointer - but there are other signs. I've had no one 'break' through since we implemented the system but then only one real human being signed up in nearly a year! It was obvious they were human. There's no way I could cope with your volume without automating the tool (which isn't easily possible). Our forum shouldn't be interesting to spammers which makes me think it's a bot attack - a human would realise that talking to so few people isn't worth it. At least I credit them with that intelligence... I say again - you do a fabulous job. You retain a sense of humour and integrity with kindness and dignity. The constant Me! Me! Me! from some people here would get to me these days. Thank you! I do feel safe here and I do feel as if I'm part of a community. Live Long and Prosper!
