Thanks to all you wonderful bloggers who never give up on me.
Here's a copy of an email I sent out yesterday. Just thought I'd post a copy for all of you.
Dear All
However, I started eating again and regained some weight.
Here's a copy of an email I sent out yesterday. Just thought I'd post a copy for all of you.
Dear All
Kev emailed you all in May when it seemed that I had just a little time to live. I'd just come home from MRI and hadn't eaten for weeks. My new GP used the word 'terminal' for the first time to me, and I didn't know he had already told Kev that I had only a month or so left. Looking at the photos from that time I can see why.
However, I started eating again and regained some weight.
It seems that the chemo had destroyed some of the tumour but the illness it also caused has left me unable to walk, so I have been confined to my bed for most of the year.
But I am not well, and not eating again - who knows what is to come.
A belated thank you for all your good wishes and I hope you all have a good new year.
Happy 2011 to all
from KAZ ( now with HAIR)

Kaz, you are one of the bravest, most fightingest (is so a word!)women I've never met.
whatever happens is beyond me, but it's been a privilege to spend some cyber time with you this year.
Here's to better things for us all in 2011.
Much love, kid.
It's so good to hear from you!
Would it help if I sent Beast over to model The Freakin' Green Elf Shorts?
Yes, they're on their way to England again.
If you must stay in bed, at least Corrie has been exciting lately.
Gentle hugs from MJ.
So glad to have any kind of update! Hang in there Kaz! You'll be in my thoughts as the Bells chime in the new year tonight.
Arrabest!
PS What do the doctors know? At the end of the day it's technically "Terminal" for all of us...
Hi Kaz,
Great to see an update from you, even though you are still far from well.
I often think of you. You have managed more blog posts than I have this year.
I wish you, more than anyone, HEALTH and happiness for the New Year.
Kindest regards.

You've done so fantastically well lets all hope all hopiness that you will regain your appetite soon - I'm sure there must be some tempting marzipan based cake type products in the sales - we could send Vic to taste test them for you.

Hi Kaz
Great to hear your HAIR has come back!!! I will keep my fingers crossed for the appetite and the walking to follow and am sorry to hear you have been feeling poorly again.
Happy New Year and keep on defying the docs! You've done a great job so far.

An iron will can beat the doctor's and their gloom... keep fighting, Kaz. Sending all good wishes and love for 2011.

Hi Kaz,
I am a friend of Laura King, and just wanted to wish you the best for 2011.
Really good to hear from you, Kaz.
We'll raise a few glasses to you tonight and send some healthy vibes.

You've just given me the best moment of today. Thanks so much for the update.
You are often in my thoughts.
No wonder you're not eating, Rog hasn't delivered any batenburgs for you recently.
I'd better leave another hug sack at the door...hugs are piling up like the New York snow.
Followed your blog (via Laura) with interest - and obviously sadness too but gladdened to see some positive news! Here's to an improved and improving quality of life! Best wishes - Dan
So Nice To Hear From You KAZ.Stay Strong .Bestest Wishes & Love XXX
Wishing you all the best possible.
Wonderful to find this greeting from you today, the first of the new year. I suspect you've always been an astounding woman - you certainly are now.
Keep the best candies in the tin for yourself because you never know when you might fancy one. Much love m'dear.
Good to hear from you, dear KAZ. I heared the british cuisine made some progress lately - try it, eh? Let me give you a friendly gentle hug.
Much love Kaz from one who is on the same journey. xxx
Kaz, you are often in my thoughts and I check in here every time I'm online to see if there's an update. And today there is... so keep as well as you can and I'm looking forward to your next update already.
Kaz, We will never give up on you. ( Us bloggers are a bloody stubbon breed ).

Kaz, really, really, wonderful to hear from you again. All my best wishes and love for the new year. xxx
Great to know you are still with us and we hope you'll start eating a bit more - our neighbour has just shaved her head before it all starts falling out and has a neat way of making a scarf into a hat - all our love from hyde.

LOVE THE HAIR BABE!
JUST FABULOUS!!
What they all said. That's started my 2011 off on a good note.

So pleased to have some news Kaz - fingers crossed for better times ahead for you.
Thinking of you often.
Hello KAZ, just sliding in - a little ice rain here. But the coming days will see warm temperatures.
I hope you've managed to eat something Kaz - just comeing by to check! XX
Morning honey.
It's typical British weather here in Norwich. I'm trying to come up with reasons not to head out. Bleugh.
I see your jug is empty and the flowers need changing. And as Rog still hasn't delivered you batenburgs...I'll be back.
*trips over sack of hugs on way out*
Kaz it is so good to hear from you.
All the very best.
Here you go sweetie, more batenburgs.
*puts the little cakes out on a plate, places it by Kaz' bedside*
*puts fresh flowers in vase*
I hope you like daffs.
*rinses out jug and fills it with a chilled Pinot Grigio*
Enjoy darling.
*trips over sack of hugs on way out*
Kaz - Thanks for the update and lots of love. You are a fighter and I hope things progress.
Ever onwards!

Here's a couple of hunky guys for you Kaz
Somewhat late to this, but glad to hear from you and do take care of yourself. Big hugs.
Your hunky gays are phantastic, Rog!
checking in with much love from the south, sugar! xoxoxo
Just peeping in from Franconia. We have no more snow, but high water - by no means comparable to what the Aussies have.
Happy Sunday morning my dear.
I need more coffee...want a cup?
Tell Mago I didn't mean "hunky gays".
Dave's become a twitcher by the way Kaz. I thought you should know.
Chance of sunshine today anyway...
Still checking your blog - and grateful for the update.
From Lubin (who IS a hunky gay).
Delighted to read your update, I've been wondering about you. I wanted to get the flit gun out on the comments section of your last update to get those pesky scammers!
Thinking of you xxx
Happy Wednesday!
Just checking in. *waves*
Sx
It's becoming cold again and right when I have to travel snow is forecast - ach Middle Franconia!
How's the hair now?
Just lots of love to you and your hair!
Hello! (waves stars and stripes at Kaz)
I heard someone on the subway speaking what I'm sure was Catalun. Made me think of you.(Ena Sharples hairnets make me think of you, too!)
there's Great Bustards round here Kaz!
xXx
I've only had Greater Bastards round my way. Saw them off with a shotgun.
Happy Saturday.
Some great busts?
someone peeked at chez moi from Catalonia and I wondered if it was your good self. . .
(-;
. . .in other news, last week with Friday's coffee I offered up some lovely crunchy apples - wouldn't you know but Vicus started everyone else on dunking them
. . .in other other news, today I made a Swiss Roll (not by pushing him down a mountain) and it made me think of Battenburg - which made me think of you!
XXX
...checking in... for a nibble of battenburg...

Just listening to Betty Driver on Desert Island Discs. She sends her best....
Just floating by on ma way to bed ... trains, archives, trains ... Silvaner ...
I popped by with custard creams. I hope you don't mind. They're from Waitrose. I've gone up in the world.
Lots of love to you my darling.
xxxx
@Rog: Have you heard that Betty Driver has never made a hot pot and claims to be rubbish at cooking?
Kaz, I am now an official idler, too! Retirement starts today!
Betty Driver revelations eh? Turns out she's a 43 year old bloke from Sussex.
Hiya Kaz!!! xxx
Howdy Kaz.
Hope life is treating you a little better.
Your pithy posts are much missed in the blogosphere. In fact, we demand them back!
Lx
Just looking in ... your idling is exemplary!
Morning gorgeous.
It's my day for idling, so I thought I'd drop in see whether you needed more baked goods.
More bickies? Jaffa cakes? Battenburgs? Or yes to all of the above?
Do we need a fresh hug sack yet? Oh, what th'eck! I'll leave one anyway. Something to keep Roses on her toes-es.
Hugs and love, Kaz.
Hug sack? Is that a cuddle blanket?
Hey Kaz,just stopping in for a chat. On the Hug sack subject I have a Snuggie we can all share.
Ah Kaz, hope you're getting some grub down your neck, missing you so xx
"ping"?
just checking in, sugar! thinking of you. xoxoxoxo
Kaz, be my Valentine!
And mine!!?
Sx
Happy Valentine's Day my darling.
hope Kev fed you heart shaped Battenberg today
- thinking of you xx
me too, three and four

Today I saw some thing in the upwards grey. It was yellowish. Remembered the tales of the ancestors who sayed something about a "sun" ...
Miss you so much.
What Dave said.
Just peeping in.
Sending you a postcard from Austin: boots and guitars, honky tonk pianos and warm nights. x
Hi Kaz! I'm persisting in my irrational belief that you are currently not blogging because you are on a tropical beach somewhere.
Kev peeling the grapes.
Wishing you all the best wherever you are.
x
Thinking of you, hoping you are comfortable and happy.
love and peace.
Make a noise please.
Hope all well with you.
Hello,Kaz. Sorry I've been AWOL. But I'm home again so might be less AWOL now.
hugs.Nice, gentle ones.
Morning honey.
It's Monday again. I've been to London over the weekend, which possibly explains my lack of enthusiasm for it.
I'm thinking of you sweetie.
*trips over hug sack on the way out*
Who bloody left that lying there?
Kazzi Come Home!
Luv and luck,
Laws x
Yes: KAZ Come Home!
Yes, please return - Dave is a bit of a handful without you to keep him under control.
Sx
HI KAZ .THINKING ABOUT YOU X
Owdo chuck. Your Royal Wedding invite is in the post apparently. And how's the Kevster?
It's Friday Kaz, time for a tipple
cheers me dear
x x x
It's Saturday.
You're my excuse for not doing the laundry.
*hugs*
This is comment number 99.
Kaz darling! Just popped in to see if you needed a fesh cup of tea or a bottle of bubbly. Brought the Battenburg cake, Lamingtons and chocolates.
Many hugs, am thinking of you dear.
You are still in my prayers.
Oh dear. There are days I wish I could go back to bed.
Hello my darling.
How are you doing for white wine? Do you need topping up?
Just checking in, tidying up, plumping cushions.
So much sadness in the world...I came over here for a laugh. Well, when you get characters like Vicus and Rog and Dave and the Zig together there's bound to be some inadvertent snorting and spluttering of beverages.
Speaking of which - I need more caffeine!
Up for a gentle hug? OK, here's one!
Hello lovely.
It's a sunny Saturday out there and I'm trying to come up with a good excuse why I'm not out there...oh yes...laundry. The laundry which went undone last weekend.
It's getting bad hon, I'm down to the grey knickers.
