Things That Gladden The Heart

A smiling Mrs Hogie walking towards me in the Royal Surrey County Hospital car park after a worrying 45mins whilst she was in having a scan and mammogram...and all OK. And so this afternoon we watched the second series of After Life - and I'll admit to a few tears...marvellous. But we were right thinking that we couldn't have watched it in the last week or so before today...

And many, many thanks to all who passed on their best wishes to my wife...

great news!
 
Thanks to all. The worst thing about it was that she knew that if it was a recurrence or metastatic spread, then it would be inoperable, and chemo and radiography might be of limited benefit. Because of that she tells me she has been much more frightened over the last ten days that she was when she was first diagnosed four years ago. So if you know someone in remission from a cancer - don't forget that as much as on the outside they might look and act 'back to normal', in their thinking many do not consider themselves cured - and they live with the fear of recurrence or metastatic disease...

Really great news.

I can relate to your last sentence as having survived a major heart attack including two lots of the old jump leads it remains constantly in my mind even though it was now19 years ago.

That underlying fear never quite disappears.
 
Barry Humphries on This Morning just now - absolute legend. Poor Ruth in tears. The 'Dame Edna is shacked up with Thomas Markle for lockdown' segment was priceless.
 
News that ’reality’ TV shows, (Love Island, I’m a Celebrity, Big Brother etc), are likely to be cancelled.

I don’t watch them, but it means the media will be bereft of ‘news’ about them.
