Just for wimps, told you I do a good out of focus photo.

Old bike-new pedals
you'll have to take my word for it

So glad to see that you have been out on your bike. It must have felt good.
How's things? How's Mrs djb1971?

It felt good but I knew that I hadn't turned the pedals for a while

Mrs djb left hospital a couple of days before xmas, she had been in since 28th November! Everything eventually went to plan and all is good. We go down there again in a couple of weeks to see if it was worth the trouble of all of the surgery. Thanks for asking Katherine

That's good to hear. Hope you get more chances for cycling.
You can come on CC even if you don't cycle you know! A lot of general chat happens in the mundane thread. Most people are light hearted, supportive and positive. You're allowed a moan too.

Thanks Katherine. To me, you always come across as lovely person on CC, little posts like this go towards making me correct in thinking that.

I've found it hard recently to be on here or anywhere else really. My wife had cancer 5 years ago and beat it, unfortunately the radiotherapy has caused another cancer that is pretty much incurable, apart from having major surgery to remove it. This started again a few months ago and it obviously took over our lives again. I've just not bothered cycling or doing anything, the news made us both so depressed. It's hard when you keep hearing people telling you to be positive when we know what will eventually happen. I've been spending time with her and caring for her in and out of hospital, running a business and even trying to look after the house and dog (he's been no company because he missed his mum and sulked all day and night). The hospital trip was a nightmare, 4 hours to do a journey that was less than hour! Our normal lives have been taken away from us and we want to get back to being ourselves again.

We get the results in January to see if it's clear for a while longer. Hopefully it'll have done the trick.

In the meantime, I'm intending to get back on the bikes and regain some sanity (and waistline)

Thanks Katherine

sorry for the moan

That doesn't sound like a moan to me. Hope things improve in the new year.

@djb1971 , so sorry to hear your news. Fingers crossed it may prove to be better than you expect

@djb1971
Fingers crossed here too.
I have a friend who has heart failure caused by the radiotherapy! It's not fair is it that they beat the cancer but the treatment is going to shorten their life.
As you say, you just want your lives back!
You are definitely allowed to moan. I suppose the most positive thing that I can say is that you should make the most of what you have. I'm sure that you will be able to look after her better for having a regular break that includes a bike ride if that is possible.
Best wishes to you both b

Lots of people on here don't cycle.... @potsy for example
