Oncologist says the chemo is working. He says I might see 2022. He then said that unfortunately, he's also said that to people who were dead 2 months later. Nice.

Cheers! 
I've developed a system to cope with the side effects - I can cope as long as it stays about the same.
Tanks are cool - I enjoy Bovingdon museum when we're down that way.
A couple of years ago, I asked if I could ride in a train cab - I ended up driving a train load of unsuspecting commuters into Central London.
Your pre-birthday sounds very tasty!
Love the presents you got. I especially do love a game of Kerpluck - I once bought an olde fashioned one from eBay and though the sticks were a little bent, I loved it. It's like pick up sticks but with bonus marbles!
Yes, oncologists are pretty good at being blunt. 
Chemo side effects sure do take their toll - I guess every day is another day of keeping on going.
Good on you for thinking of giving a go at driving a bus. There is a place not too far away from us, where you can go along and drive a tank. That's more my thing. Driving a bus and my visuospatial problems would not be the best idea, whereas a tank - it just doesn't matter!

Thanks
Thanks - Yes - it was on my birthday - and it could have been good, bad or very, very bad news so we had my 'pre-birthday instead - we had some nice steaks and desserts the day before and we did presents in the morning - I got Buckaroo and Ker-Plunk and Wii Sports Resort along with some airfix models so the composite day was amazing.
I've asked the oncologist to be as blunt and honest as possible with me - I need solid data to work out what to do - having everything being so vague means I can't plan - so I just have to accept that some of the things he will say will sound so cold.
The limiting factor will be the side effects of the chemo - how much I can take and still want to go forwards. There will come a time when either my body or mind says it's too much.
I'm still adding to my bucket list - the latest thing I've thought of is I want to drive a bus.
