Great news Steve. Very pleased for you. You can rest easy now. Waiting for the BREXIT result may be a bit stressful though .

Hi,

Thank you, everyone, for your kind messages.

I'm so pleased to reach the remission stage of my treatment after all the events of the last two years but feel guilty for celebrating this when I think of those who are not so lucky on this site. I'm just so relieved that, after being told two weeks ago, that my radiotherapy may have failed, to have reached this point.

I realise that, given my original diagnosis, my oncologist has warned me that my cancer may well return in the future but for now, I appear to be clear.

I still feel really tired, weak and totally lacking in energy but hopefully that will improve in the coming months, once my hormone treatment finishes. I do have an appointment with an haematologist in a couple of weeks, that may provide some answers, as some of my blood figures are not as they should be.

I will continue to do voluntary work (using my photography skills) with PCUK and Macmillan Cancer Care as it's the only way I can usefully contribute towards the work of these charities, because I'm pretty useless at anything else.

Thank you, for being really good friends, not only to me, but many others on this site.

Morning Steve.

Well firstly, real friends look out for each other and even though we are mostly virtual friends on here the main word is "Friend" so I personally would have been disappointed had you not felt the boost we all try to give, especially on a "down" day.

Guilty - Don't you dare. I mean it !

Guilt is reserved for wrongdoing and getting a good result from treatment you have undergone (and that does appear to have worked brilliantly) doesn't come under that heading.

Enjoy the new freedom from treatment. Try not to worry about the cancer coming back because it will put a damper on today's joy.

You (and your family) have worked hard at the treatment side to get where you are now.

I cannot imagine anyone on here, be it a man undergoing his own trials and tribulations with his cancer treatment, or any of us partners, being jealous of your news. Envious - yes. Encouraging - definitely.

Good news from any man on here is like a beacon of hope and is the proverbial light at the end of the tunnel and you have provided the in bucket loads.

Hopefully your fatigue will lessen with time and you can go back to a more normal way of living.

I wish you well my friend, really well so don't let me down!!

Steve,

I am not in your position yet but am really happy for you that you have reached the stage where you have have had good news. So enjoy it and don't feel guilty at all. After all it's what having gone through the treatment is all about. Aiming to give you the chance of survival and for the moment you've achieved that and long may that continue.

We all like good news and you've provided that for us. But you have given us some scares too !

Best wishes,

John

Hi,

If anyone would like to be friends on Facebook they can find me by searching for "Nikon Steve". I intend putting some of my photography on there which may be of interest to some.

Would be nice to see you on there.

Hi,

One month today, my Hormone Treatment will end.

It should have been at the end of June but my GP decided to give me a 12 week implant rather than the 4 week one without telling me.

I was cross when I found out because for months I've struggled to cope with increasing fatigue. Another couple of months before possibly beginning to slowly regain some energy, wasn't something I needed.

I'm counting the days.

I'll bet you are Steve and this heat isn't helping either is it.

Still, it's done now and he must have had a good reason (at least I hope he did rather than pick up the first implant that came to hand!!)

You'll get there. It has to end some time.

Best Wishes

Sandra

It'll take many months to feel normal again Steve, but it will be worth it.

Lots of love

Hi,

Not sure if I'll ever get back to "normal". Too much has happened.
