A Good Distraction
Hi Ladies
Hope you don't mind me sharing my news but at this time whilst I'm waiting to start surgery & treatment for a recurrence thought I'd share some non-cancer stuff that is helping me smile a bit at this dark point.
I love music and both play in a band and write songs. Terry Wogan is having a song writing competition (called Oldie Composers aimed at any one over the age of 40 and I qualify for this by 3 years). He's raising money for Barnardos through the competition and I've managed to get down to the final 50 songs. To get through to the next stage (celebrity judging By Terry himself and some other radio 2 DJs) I need lots of votes for my song and wondered if I could ask you to come support me and vote for my song. Just need to visit the website and click on the box to vote for my song One In A Million (song no.34).
I wrote & recorded songs whilst off sick last time I fought cancer. Found it gave me a positive way of spending time when unable to work and I have to say it helped! Would be nice to get a step further in this competition and not just focussing on what lies ahead for me to get rid of this again in 2012. Oldiecomposers.com is the website....just hope i don't get told off for posting this!
Thank you so much. Hugs to you all in your battles.

Thank you so much for your kind comments. Wrote it for my hubby whom I met after battling cancer the first time. He loves me despite my MX & reconstruction scars. So lucky to have him. I manage to play guitar despite lymphoedema in my left arm!
