Prostate cancer

I was out today for yomp over the tops with a few of the lads Glossop over to hayfield via rowarth six miles nothing to difficult and was brought up we’ve raised £8,500 for prostate cancer uk in our fundraising walks over last couple of years so we’ve decided to do one more in the spring to get to £10,000 so we’ll be doing the walk in the spring I’ll post details near the time but it’d be great to put some faces to user names if anyone fancies this , if you’re not up for the walk then come and have drink in the afternoon, as I say I’ll post the route details nearer the time , more than likely do the snake summit (pass over exposed) over bleaklow down into old Glossop

I`ve thought long and hard before deciding to post this.

I went to the Churchill Unit at Bolton Royal to find out my results after the MRI and CT scans which followed on from the Prostate Biopsy. My bone scan was clear but as well as finding 8 out of 24 biopsies positive for Cancer I had a lesson on one of my kidneys and something on my lung.

The doctor told me that because of all my ongoing medical problems she feel if I had radiotherapy or hormone therapy I would either not survive the operation or would in fact make my quality of life worse than it is now.

I have a chesty cold at the moment which is getting on my nerves but I have no pain apart from the pain City are causing us all.

I also have a long list of stuff going on besides, so this is just a warning to get checked out as early as you can, especially for the over 50`s. I wish you all the best of luck and ffs come on City.

Your not on your own I’m going through something similar myself I’ve opted not to have chemotherapy and opted for self ?? forgot what it’s called but blood tests and scans instead, the specialist was in agreement, fingers crossed for us all going through the similar thing.

My BIL had the radiotherapy and hormones and it didn’t suit him, I think your wise to do what you think is best for you especially when you’ve got other health issues going on, hope you managed to enjoy Xmas day we are nearly into New year and spring will soon be here again :) after this endless wet 2024 which might be affecting the team it’s never stopped raining.
