Hi Ian

Crisps you do saybthe most awful things to me lol I want to eat a 30 g packet never mind a huge packet .

i will be checking in with yiu on Monday re spreadsheets and charts. !

lol

weve got to joke otherwise anyone would think we’ve had something serious ,!!

yep put it down to Buzz mania sweeping the country

Hi Hazel.

I'm right with you on that one re keeping some sense of humour in all this or it would drive you nuts.

There is a lot to contend with but I've found that with a little humor and staying as positive as can be really helpful.
Of course been times when feeling rough but just grind on, smile and I kept knowing I was heading towards my light at the end of my tunnel.

drum roll............................

Hi Ian 

drum roll acceptable thank you. 

Speech...........

unaccustomed as I am to public writing. Lol.  Just to say it’s been a pleasure to cajole you and all your supporters along on this event.Seriously though like you say we’ve kept each other amused at all times if the day n into the wee witching hours comparing notes. So anyone reading this in years to come look and laugh at us but we will get you through throat  / tonsil cancer it’s a hard  but we are proof it can be done.

Baby steps

light at the end if the tunnel

hydrate hydrate then more hydration mantra 

onwards and upwards to infinity and beyond 

heres to next 1000 posts 

Hazel Ian Suoer Dave Graeme and our respective other half’s who in many ways are the unsung heroes in our recovery 

plus all the others who have contributed

Guess the prize for 1000th post was a spellchecker ! :D:D:D:D     well, you did say humour!

lol at both

how very apt graeme...I'm thinking Hazels spelling was attention seeking though.

and yes hazel we do keep other amused and sane ( as can be ) all times of day and night.

All

I never thought for a minute when I started this thread last year it would take off and mushroom into 1000 posts with so many contributing and supporting one another and its been such a helpful thread and like a little community spirit that has fostered.

On the humor side, yes i know this is a serious topic and serious treatment and recovery and majority of time it has been serious and genuine help and support for one another. The occasional humour, banter and even nicknames does help lighten the mood sometimes and I persoanly think it has a place to promote positive thinking to help overcome this horrid diagnosis we faced.

So a toast and a glass of diet coke to you all ( oh and 12 pints of beer for SuperDave )  :

Cheers 

Onwards & Upwards

Ian

Well done on the 1000th post Hazel very fitting lol and keep the sense of humour coming it’s needed even in the bad times and proof that we can beat this, loving Greece very warm today but I can take the heat better since having radio...Not sure why though? I was scrolling Facebook today and an ad came up it was Mark Radcliffe who is getting over it, he’s the radio DJ fronting an HPV throat cancer awareness campaign plus some other celebs, apparently the North West of England is one of the worst affected areas 1100 new cases each year 75% men, maybe this is acceptance that there’s an epidemic at last? 

Dave

H Graeme took me 2 hours to type that post ! Glad I’ve at last got the recognition I deserve !

lol
