Prayers and positive thoughts for all who are experiencing cancer at this time. Another encouragement to those who post here hoping for some support; I expect many people check out this thread and hold these people in their hearts and thoughts, but don't necessarily post. Just because there doesn't always seem to be much of a 'response' doesn't mean people aren't responding.
Several times a week for me- I can't always get on daily.
But ongoing care and prayer and cursing cancer as often as I can- even if I cannot read daily.
Praying for you all, for strength and peace and good care.
The anniversary of Mr Ll's death is approaching. This will be the first time I have lived through the day on my own - not really on my own, as I will have virtual support from family and friends, but we are all worrying how the others will handle it.

I finished my 34th drug cycle tonight. No new pains, no pains at all actually. It's working!
Seven days to recover now before I start cycle #35 And I have got an appointment for the Covid vaccination - 6th of January. One less worry!
saw Lisa on 'Facetime' [sic?] video today. Though she is in good spirits and we could share and smile, she looked very grey. She has been told, ' if she gets Covid-19 she will will die'. She says this doesn't bother her. It sure as hell bothers me. Lack of faith, I suppose.
No doubt They are making sure, as far as They possibly can, that Covid-19 is kept at bay.
I suppose They have to warn peeps of the worst-case scenario - I'm reminded of the consultant telling me that one of the possible side-effects of my planned brain tumour surgery was death.
Oh joy! I had a simply lovely time with Number Two Son and his Lovely Lady!
So glad!!
And glad you could facetime with Lisa, @RockyRoger! I’m sure they’re just trying to impress the seriousness of being careful, but it does irk me when warnings are given so starkly.
Got my vaccination today!
They are giving them out to anyone and everyone now - with papers, without, whatever. Just turn up. Once it's out of the freezer you have to use it up, so if you go around 11am they'll "do you". Waiting time: 10 min!! Then 15 min sitting there afterwards to make sure you're ok and that's it. The tiniest syringe I have ever seen in my life. It looked like it came from a dolls' house!
Feel such relief - one HUGE worry is over!
In Sean Michaels's novel Us Conductors, three scientists are being transported by freeing train from a remote gulag to a prison laboratory in Moscow. One of them says, "Yes, there is a God. And he's a son of a bitch."
Good thoughts for Mr. Image, please. We are in the middle of a move, and his one remaining kidney is not functioning well. He had cancer in his other kidney and had it removed 18 months ago.
Prayers for me please ... I am feeling uncharacteristically weak for this point in my drug cycle ... could it be from The Vaccine? Am I over-exerting myself? Does it even matter why? No.
@Galilit It could indeed be the vaccine - I don't think it has even been tested on immuno-compromised patients - so do please check with the relevant doctor a.s.a.p.

Me too, every day.

I pray it goes well for you 🕯

(Thank you, Nenya and Mary Louise.)
And wow, I hadn't heard of anyone getting a vax yet until now.
(What a day though - sweating, shivering, dog-tired yet excited for Christmas and the visit Number Two Son and his Lovely Lady)
Thoughts for all - and loved ones who are dealing with cancer.

That was in December 2015...
And glad you could facetime with Lisa, @RockyRoger! I’m sure they’re just trying to impress the seriousness of being careful, but it does irk me when warnings are given so starkly.
If God gives a shit, then why did he create fucking Cancer?

Hope the drug cycle goes well.
