Evening.

Bee, I'm going to try to go for 10 - 14 days.

mummy, I've not seen DS in RL for 30 years. I think I've mentioned before that it was an extended family adoption so I did see him intermittently after the adoption. My nearest MaccyD is 19 miles away. Almost everything I like (other than Costa) is at least 19 miles away.

What an emotional time for you both that will be. I worry when I don't see my ds at least once each week ! It will be a wonderful meet up . Hopefully he will want to come and visit your home too !

That's such fab news about the Skype with your son, I do FaceTime with my DS who is far away and it's just wonderful.
You will have such a lovely weekend Zombie

I may have a little tear for you Zomb

Is tonight the night?

s and (((hugs))) and lots of love xxx

Save your tissues, Bee. Tomorrow night is the night. xxx

Hope it goes well tomorrow. Bet you don't sleep tonight with excitement, so take it easy x

Lovely to spot you having fun on HoneyDragon's thread last night!
Sleep tight.

Have a great chat with your DS tonight Zombie, got to be one of the best tonics you can get to lift your spirits.

I agree, mummy. Still a few hours to wait but I'm getting very excited.

What time will you Skype ? How many hours time difference is there ? ( getting excited for you )

We'll start between midnight and 1.00am. It's a 5 hour time difference so between 7.00pm and 8.00pm his time.

Could someone pass me some tissues please. I'm not sure I've ever been this happy. Well, at least not since DS was born.

We've been on Skype for an hour and a half. I also got to talk with my sister-in-law, his adoptive mum.

This has been beyond my wildest dreams.

Oh Zombie, so happy for you! (lurker and well-wisher here).

Did you find it easy to chat? Or take a while to warm up? When I first met my half-sister a few years ago we spent a lot of time grinning at each other, but there were a few long pauses. Hard to know where to start when catching up on a lifetime of news

Wow Zombie, how wonderful xx

Zombie I am thrilled for you that your Skype session went well . You obviously found loads to chat about to be on there for so long. It is times like this when you thank god for modern technology. I hope you managed to get to sleep eventually after the excitement of it all, you must of been floating on air !

How wonderful, you two must have really hit it off, that's a long time.
Fantastic.
Will it be a weekly event now? Or nightly?

Am I right that it's your last chemo this Wednesday?

When you're recovered from that you can really concentrate on building your strength for your trip.

Such lovely news - I may have something in my eye.

As BBB says you can soon concentrate on the big trip.

Morning!

Ginfox, don't be a stranger. It was really easy to chat. We've been e-mailing and chatting on FB since January so the ice had been broken.

Thanks, Yonic.

mummy, I'm still floating. We talked about loads of things - his job, his love life, my treatment, how we feel about being back in touch and lots more.

Bee, we're planning on weekly. And, yes, last round of Docetaxel is on Wednesday. Only one more set of side effects to get through. I'll still be on a 3 week cycle for Herceptin but that doesn't really have any side effects.

Here, magi, have some of my tissues.

Hi magi, I missed you

You didn't have to go to that ghastly place in Turkey again did you?

Sorry BBB - am just back from 2 weeks in heaven ghastly place in Turkey, whose name I will never utter lest any one else goes there. You can call me a travel snob but did not hear an English voice (apart from us) in 2 weeks. Bliss Right shitty holiday!!!!

Have you moved yet???

Apologies to Zombie for a thread hijack.

Good morning Zombie, hope you too have a lovely sunny day where you are as I have here on the south coast. Well nearly tomorrow and your last chemo session, you have done so well and faced it with courage. Hope you get to have your breakfast treat tomorrow as well !

Zombie

Ohh that sounds wonderful, it must be lovely to have a long chat like that.

Good luck with the last of the Docetaxel.

Will be thinking of you tomorrow Zomb.
Thought you might like a heads up that Barbie has had her baby - all fine.

Thinking of you today Zombie as you have this last treatment.
