@RobertA Hi Rob, Thanks for your msg! Although it is a day that changed our lives forever, it is now a good day to look back on as I celebrate how we came through it. What could have been really bad, turned out well. Yes, I expect a glass of wine…

@RobertA Hi Rob, Rambling?? Never!! 😀 I wholeheartedly agree with you about meeting others who may not have crossed our paths had we not faced cancer. I have met and made friends with some lovely people, even since being here. Although some friend…

@KitKat Hi Catherine, Sending you massive hugs and loads of strong wishes. You are extremely brave, more than you feel right now. Feeling down and weepy is very, very normal. I don't know of anyone who hasn't felt like you do at the moment. Cling …

@RobertA , @Anneb Hi Rob, I can imagine how upset they were. One time we were in Brittany, it rained for two weeks, it was awful. We decided then to venture further south in future, as otherwise we may as well have stayed at home! You can't help b…
