My blue mate of 53 years (we met at 11 at School) has incurable prostate cancer but he’s been living with it for 8 and a half years now, don’t know how he copes, they couldn’t remove his prostate as his cancer had spread to his pelvis, remarkable really. The other blue mate I mentioned has cancer of the liver, also incurable but his attitude is unbelievable. Both of those lads are good friends so the support they have for each other is immense. Out of our golf group (25 of us) three have had Prostate cancer, I don’t know if you’ve seen but @A57 the snake who posts on here went through the same. He posted some very poignant comments on his journey and I put him in touch with one of my pals who’d been through the same. Thankfully both have been given the all clear.That’s really sad mate and I hope he pulls through, tbh, it’s similar to my current thoughts, I keep thinking, now I’ve finally found my perfect girl ( and I’m perfect for her), life will somehow kick me in the bollocks in a similar way, hope that doesn’t happen for both our sakes.
Finding your life partner us one of the most important things in existence, some people like being on their own but those adverts on TV for Age U.K. absolutely break my heart when they talk about older people and the loneliness they experience, thankfully you found your “Doris”! :-). Best of luck.
