Prostate cancer

[Jam Tomorrow]

Hi Gary, I’m glad to hear you have had good news. I wouldn’t have know anything about this thread until I searched. I’ve had a problem urinating every hour ish been for a MRI scan and been told they have found lesions. Going in for a biopsy on 8th November. I thought the hourly urination was part of my diabetes. This is to tell anyone who has problems with a change of the frequency in urination to GET IT CHECK OUT PROMPTLY.

Hope all goes ok mate

I had my PSA results today at the Christie as it’s six months on from my radiotherapy and we’re so pleased it’s back down to 0.1 psa.
A huge relief it looks like they were bang on target with the radiotherapy, after the prostectomy then 18 months later to need the radiotherapy it’s been a long road and now I’m finally looking at the light at the end of the tunnel. Go back in 6 months for repeat psa tests then hopefully go in remission again, for the family it’s such relief they’ve been through enough especially my two daughters, emotional day to be honest.
So goes without saying a big thank you to each and everyone of you in your support for not just myself but others who are going through this dreadful disease.
As I’ve said before we’re in this together and we will keep going !!!!
We will carry each other through this .

It’s sometimes said city fans have no class well I beg any visitors on this site to go through this thread you will come back with a different view I guarantee it.

Ladies and Gentlemen you are the best of the best , sorry for the late post it’s been a long day for us.

Good Luck to all on here dealing with this we keep going ,

Gary.

Great news, all the best mate

Hi pal , hoping it’s not PC but you have plenty of time to get this sorted one way or another. Don’t google anything other the than NHS . Wishing you the best as I said time is crucial and you’ve acted all the very best and keep posting.

Had my last radiotherapy session today. Everything feels good,no obvious side effects so far, apart from slightly loose bowels which is probably down to the daily micro enema I’ve been having to take!

The radiologists at The Christie Private Care have been superb and my treatment in general has been first class. Just 18 months of hormone treatment to go, but it feels great to get the main treatment out of the way

I’ll add some humour to the thread if that’s ok …. So today I’m in the car with my 17 yr old daughter going into Glossop and the car phone rings ….
Hello is that Gary ? Yes , it’s your GP I’ve read the prescription notes from Christie’s and there’s two months of viagra waiting in Tesco pharmacy for you , do you need anything else ?
No thanks I said . Daughter replied Dad you’re stopped at a green light !!

Lads seriously ED will happen probably will happen with treatment for prostate cancer but you will be looked after I’ve got a year supply of the stuff.
Take care all and good luck.
