Well I certainly DID enjoy your latest blog, Andrew. We all need to laugh... and it does us good. (Of course there are times when we need to cry, too, but I guess that goes without saying)

Thanks. I just wanted to make the point that, within the safe space of a community, it is not all "death and destruction" and that today there is some room to feel upbeat in many cancers.

So true, Andrew. There is certainly a lot to feel upbeat about, re many cancers. And there's also the point that laughter can still be therapeutic, even when our cancer situation may NOT be so positive.

Hi Andrew

It certainly is not all doom and gloom, though we maybe have to work a little harder to remember that when the ' bad days ' happen ..... I like the fact that, in our little space of this CLL community, that members will post good news as well as their worries and questions.

.... as to feeling upbeat .... thank you for helping us do just that .... ( even when the techno-babble goes way over my head ! ) ...
