OK, I hold up my hands, David, that photo was taken a few years ago. You have shamed me into updating it. I have now taken one as I sit here, and uploaded it. Glasses are now a permanent accessory. I don't seem to be in the middle of the frame, but can't be bothered to sort that now. At least having a photo demonstrates that I am not in fact a piglet. (Piglet was the name of a little boat Tony used to have.)

Sod it, still lie! http://community.prostatecanceruk.org/editors/tiny_mce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-smile.gif

P.S. You still don't look it.

P.P.S. My photo was taken on my 60th birthday, that's over 7 years ago. I look younger now. It's the latest photo I have of me drinking real beer. I must get Mrs_C to remedy this deficiency.

I've just seen a post on the Way Up site from someone who's 79 and she was being told she's not too old!

Reminds me of Bob Dylan: "Ah, but I was so much older then/ I'm younger than that now."

Are you sure you're still old enough to be drnking beer?

Marje, you are an incredible lady and it's so lovely that you are still posting and helping others.

Anticipatory grief, thanks for helping me understand that this is what I have been going through right from the beginning of this journey. I relate so much to a few of the above posts, i especially find myself hiding my sad feelings from those closest to me in order to protect them.

My bob is still fighting the good fight but I hope when the time comes I will be able to build my life back up as you other wonderful ladies are doing now.

Take care all

Lesley xx

You will, Lesley, although some people take longer than others. But one thing I can tell you is that you are already doing some of the building right now. You may feel as if you are stuck in a hole, but you are digging the foundations of your future, by dealing with your feelings and expressing them here.
