Wish me luck ...

[Joan]

I would be the first to ask too, if I saw something like that - was just trying to be clever.  Bad luck to say "good luck" in this case. 

[Tom]

Ah... I think I've got it! Or part of it, anyway. I think. Erm, how do you get out of saying "Good luck"? "Sorry, I take it back" doesn't sound the best... 

I meant to say "All the best" then! 

[Roger Kettle]

Glad the treatment's going well, Joan. As for the secret message, I hope whoever is doing whatever is successful.

[Joan]

Thanks, Roger.  Bound to be.

[Malc]

They say "break a  leg" in the theatre which is their way of getting around the 'good luck' thing. So if someone says "break a leg" it means "I hope everything goes well".

So break a leg, Joanie. 

[Joan]

That's the way, Malc! This is me passing that on ... I just realised that's meant to be a kiss smiley - very strange, these new ones. 

Edit 4 or so months later, not that anyone will probably read it, but I just found out it should be "toi, toi, toi" not break a leg.

[Malc]

Yes, it looks like Transvestite Smiley

It's my last day of radiation therapy today!  Still have the Herceptin till next January, but the worst is over.

Thank you all for your support and for keeping me sane with laughter and good feelings over the last 9 months - you've been a Godsend.

Some time today, wherever you are in the world, I'd like you all to raise a glass of your favourite beverage in celebration with me.

[Diane CBPFC]

Yippy!

and cheers!

[Tom]

Clink!, Joan!

[Diamond Lil]

My coffee mug is raised!  What a great day

[The Peepmaster]

Good news, Joan. I'll make an effort to try and have a beer tonight.

[Roger Kettle]

Cheers, Joan! That's fantastic news. A glass of wine or whatever is compusory tonight for all Peepsters.

[Bilthehut]

Joan, Great news. 

The light at the end of the tunnel is not a freight train coming the other way anymore.   
Light at the end of the tunnel.

I've just had a lovely Latte at work and toasted you (did you hear me?).  Will continue the trend tonight at home as per the VIP's instructions and we will all think of you as we down a nice glass of wine.
