Good luck mate, hope all goes well for you.

So finally after many months of appointments and Check ups I on Thursday got diagnosed with prostate cancer , this might sound a bit mad but I’m now finally relieved that it’s now done it’s taken a while to get this all sorted and I know I got back to the Jack grealish thread when I mentioned this . Unfortunately for someone of my age (53) on Wednesday it’s an aggressive form but I’m under stepping hill and Christie’s now so I’m in good hands. If anyone has any experience of this it’d be nice if it’s shared either on here or a pm. I’m ok even though I always had a bad feeling of the final diagnosis it’s a shock that the Gleeson score was quite aggressive I’ll fight this all the bloody way . I’m grateful I’ve got great family and friends around me , please don’t take this as a sympathy post more of any advice and experience in this is always welcome.
So there it is I’m type of bloke whose pretty open with things and this on here will help .
Finally please anyone of you who’s getting towards the age of 50 please, please have a mot at your doctors/GP . Do not ignore this prostate cancer IS the silent assassin.
Take care all you and up blues.

Very sorry to hear this.
I wish you all the good luck and best wishes in the world.

Good advice about the regular MOT's mate, I keep telling my brother in law to get
himself checked out, but the silly twat just won't do it. All the best to you, if it's now diagnosed
you'll get treatment, and we hope it all goes well.

Yes I’ll tell you all I had no symptoms I stopped smoking 6 months ago as I was 52 took a look at my lifestyle and decided it needs to change I started my family relatively a late stage I was in my 40s when I had my two girls watched city all over drunk smoked and thought blimey im not in my 20s/30s so I just went to doctors asked for a MOT where they take blood samples they test you for around eight possible conditions and my PSA came back high on my prostate. I’m not into wanting to frighten no one at all but just don’t ignore your age as I said prostate cancer from my experience doesn’t carry symptoms but as with cancer can spread. If even one of you lads goes and makes an appointment then it’s a result.

All the best to you..well done on stopping smoking..green tea, cut out dairy, go low carb, intermittent fasting, pumpkin seeds, zinc supplement, tomatoes, green leafy vegetables..all will be beneficial and with your positive attitude you'll be fine blue

Ok mate, my very best friend who I met at at age 11 at School (62 now) was diagnosed in 2015 with this horrible disease. He went to the Doc’s as soon as symptoms appeared, wanted to pee all the time and when he did there was no “motor” it just dribbled. Unfortunately for him the cancer had already spread into his pelvis so there was no point in removing the gland. He was put on hormone treatment and given radiotherapy. He was also in the care of Christie and Stepping Hill which is the GM specialist Prostate centre.

We shared a room on a golf break in summer of 2015 and he broke down saying thought he had just a couple of years left. He’s still here, we play golf, go to City games and have a few beers, I don’t know how he copes mentally but in the last 7 years he’s become a Granddad to 2 kids that his daughter’s have had and that’s made his life complete.

It’s scary evey 6 months when he gets checked for his PSA’s and scans on his cancer, the relief he gets is palpable.

Another golf pal aged 57 had his prostate removed last Monday, he's been told he should live a healthy live now as the cancer was just in the gland.

Sending my best wishes to you, it’s not a problem to put you un touch with my two pals, Paul and Barney, great lads and Blues, we’re at City every home game, take care fella, you’ll live with this, hopefully for many years.

Edit: Also, if you live Glossop way (user name?) we run a bus to the Etihad every home game from the Sycamore next to Stamford Park Ashton, you are more than welcome to call in and meet up

Sorry to hear this. I read somewhere very recently that there is a new very successful laser treatment that is used to treat it. Good luck with it all
