Another wait Steve, til 22 nd May, but I hope all goes well for you and they can get to the cause of the heart problems.

Sounds like you are still feeling quite upbeat, good for you!

Hi,

I just realised that it's two years ago today that I was sent to hospital for blood tests which resulted in me finding out that my PSA was 48.85.

I didn't even know what PSA was and didn't realise that I was beginning a journey that was going to change my life forever.

Perhaps 13 was an unlucky number for me.

I think we have both had an "interesting " two years, let's hope the next two years turn out to be good but uneventful. Take care.

Thanks Chris

Hi Steve

Maybe 13 is your lucky number. Just think if you hadn't had those tests things might have turned out even worse.

I can understand your feelings though as I always think similar on my "anniversary".

Sending you my best wishes.

Good luck for the 22nd Steve. I'll be thinking of you and keeping everything crossed.

I'm not surprised you're exhausted. A combination of HT, anaemia and stress is not a good cocktail.

Best Wishes to you as usual

Hi Steve
Let's hope the next two years will be better, they can't be any worse than the last two. Keep on going, you will do that half marathon yet.
All the best

Steve,

I'm approaching my second anniversary since dx too. But I think my journey has been slightly easier than yours. However you will soon be released from HT whereas I have a further year to go.

Good luck for the 22nd.

Hi,

Thanks for your messages.

Starting to feel anxious about the outcome of the Cardiac MRI Scan l'm due to have on Sunday. I suppose I feel worse because I've waited so long for it. If it reveals that I'm suffering further problems with the arteries then I may face the possibility of further treatment not only this year but in future years. If no problems are found, it raises the question of what else could be causing the total lack of energy and severe breathlessness. I've suffered with fatigue during the last two years of HT but never as bad as this.

I haven't slept well the last couple of nights, which doesn't help.

Hopefully, taking part in a planning session with PCUK later today about my role as the photographer for the London to Amsterdam Cycle Ride in a couple of weeks time will take my mind off things.

The trip should be fun providing health issues don't get in the way of me going. Feeling that, somehow, you are helping with the work of the charity really helps raise your spirits.

Must try and sleep now.

Steve

Two forty five in the morning and you're still up and on the computer!! Hope you got some rest. I do know what it's like to be awake when the rest of the world seems to be able to get its head down. It's a very lonesome feeling.
It also allows the mind to wander, probably down paths you shouldn't be looking at because there are no distractions.

Hope the planning sessions go well. Yes it's something to focus on as well as helping PCUK, but this is for you Steve.

It's what you do, what you are good at. I know you'll give it your very best shot. You'll need to find the strength and energy from somewhere but I'm sure you'll do it.

Go Steve Go !!!!!

Hi,

Thanks.

Just arrived at the hospital, about to go in.

Funny, I'm sitting in my car next to the flat I lived in for five years before the building was bought by the hospital for use as offices. So many happy memories of that time.

Have to go.

Steve.

Hi,

Home now, following the Scan.

Scan seemed to go Ok but quite hard going.

Made me feel really tired, going to have to have a sleep before giving more info.
