Hi,

Just a thought, when I get transferred, I may not be able to post. I'll try it as soon as I can.

How unselfish of you to keep posting throughout this trauma with the thought of helping others, we are all thinking about you Steve.

Keep drinking the water. My usual bp is 90 over 60 so not too bad.

Hope they can sort this out for you.

Stay strong!

Bloody 'ell Stevehttp://community.prostatecanceruk.org/editors/tiny_mce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-surprised.gif

Like others, I had been about to congratulate you on your previous encouraging post.

I thought that was you on the way 'up and over' your troubles.

I'm shocked to read about the trauma you've now experienced and the continuing worries.

Off hand, I can't think of anyone here over the past 9 years who has gone through something like this within weeks of RT.

May I wish you a quick resolution to these problems, and I'm hoping you're fit and well by 3rd December when you meet up with 'the Crazy Gang' in London.

We can't promise a cure, but we can promise you'll be in stitches!http://community.prostatecanceruk.org/editors/tiny_mce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-surprised.gif

Looking forward to seeing you soon.

All the very best,

George

Hi,

Transferred to the cardiac unit now.

They're really not sure what's happened to me so but are keeping me in until at least Monday so they can carry out further tests. The results so far suggest I may have had a heart attack but I can't understand how that can happen with very little pain.

The internet in this department is very hit or miss so I'll try my best to post when I can.

Alison, it's not a problem doing this, I'm glad if it helps anyone else who maybe faced with similar problems.

George, I'm really looking forward to the Flyer event, I just hope I'm well enough to attend.

Hi Steve

I would ask to see your Onco on Monday (are you in the same hospital?).

It would seem like the RT has caused the bleed (and you had it so intensively) and such a blood loss would cause low bp would it not?

In terms of a heart attack - that could be the stress that you have been under? You will need to see a specialist Monday.

Sometimes (not everywhere) the top staff don't work at weekends and you just cannot get answers.

Thinking of you

Just looked in. On a positive, when you get over these issues you will have the confidence beating PCa will be a breeze.

Good luck

You're having a Dress Rehearsal for the rest of your life.
Everything going mad and bad now and getting it out of the way.

Good luck. Keep strong mentally. As has already been pointed out, such blood loss would have affected your BP surely.
Keep smiling. Sandra

Stan had a heart attack without noticing! It was only diagnosed later and then he recalled a day when he had felt 'a little under the weather'! Men!!!

I hope you are back home and feeling hearty soon. This must have been particularly upsetting for your daughter who will still be all over the place with her lovely new baby x

Hi Steve,

Have been following all your recent posts and wanting to reply and send good wishes, but have been struggling to find the right words. Today, however I have enrolled the help of Hong Kong Phooey (my childhood pin up!) who although being clownishly clumsy, usually gets there in the end even if he's not sure how he managed it! Hope you like my new avatar!

I can't believe the on-going trials you have been going through lately, but you are an inspiration to us all with your positive attitude. Keeping us up-to-date with all your posts educates and informs us all, and adds to our strength and knowledge for the future of all the journeys that we are on.

Thank you for this, and if I don't reply it's not because I'm not thinking of you and wishing you all the best. Sometimes things are just too overwhelming and all of my good wishes are just a thought unfortunately, instead of being posted.

I am glad that I have managed a post today, despite 3 very lively children playing in the background, so I hope I have made some sense!

OMG FFS how many other awful facebook terms can I use. I am so sorry you are in this situation post RT.. it is a very harsh process on your body, especially around the soft areas in a man's lower abdomen,Especially when it is delivered with such intensity over a short period of time. When I was posting all the way through Mick's battle a common observation was that the s..t always eems to hit the fan after 5pm on a Friday.

Hopefully tomorrow morning you will get a much better picture of what is actually happening. Mick did have some very dramatic drops in blood pressure and these were always put down to his anaemia and protein levels in his blood work. Combi of HT and RT I think.

by the time you read this I hope you are feeling so much better.

Hi Everybody,

Just arrived home. Lots to tell. It was confirmed that I did have a heart attack.

Really frustrated that I've had no internet connection and not knowing what was happening with all of you.

Thanks for all your messages, they really helped me.

I'll post a longer message later, feeling really tired at the moment so I'll have to a sleep before doing this.

Steve
