Hi Kev

Just wanted to say thank you so much for your encouraging post! My OH has been a bit down today with the thought of chemo tomorrow but I have just read him your words and he has cheered up immensely!

Well done , keep up the running!

Your latest results prove the old (and probably cliched) saying "There's light at the end of the tunnel"

342 down to 0.28. must be so encouraging for those facing treatment.

A lot of us would accept that treatment doesn't always work but with your example in front of us (and those others who also have horrendously high scores and get on with life) we know it is possible.

You must be strong willed ( uummm - Stubborn?)

In case you are newly diagnosed and think it's the end I just wanted to say I ran a lovely 33 mile hilly race today off road around Andover, 6 hours 45 minutes, as ever felt rough when I woke up but getting out there allways makes me feel totally normal, I do recommend it to anyone able to get out there , even just for a walk. As ever beat lots of much younger and fitter people through determination to never give up, something that I will never do. Life can carry on as normal even after 21 months of a rubbish prognosis.

Well Done, Kev.

Another amazing effort today. Hope you didn't get too wet in the showers.

Wish I could do the same, really trying, but my legs really ache even walking a few hundred yards. Can't understand why, considering I could run at the start of the year. I will do it again.

Well started my first race of my 1,000 mile challenge today. Just the 30 miles to be getting on with. I have a sore hip at the moment but nothing cocodamol and will power can't sort however walked most if it as hip was very sore so it took me over 8 hours off road but I finished which is what counts. I post this so others will see what can still be done 2 years on from a rubbish diagnosis. I ran/walked with a lovely guy today who I have never met before, Andy, he lost his wife to cancer 8 years ago, clearly still missing his soul mate but won't let that stop him living every day the best he can. He also generously added to my fund raising which now including gift aid means that I have broken the £50k mark in the last two years, so humbled and happy for the hard working people at PCUK who tirelessly try to make the future better for us all.

Next race January, 48 miles , hopefully hip will be sorted by then.

Remember, you can't change yesterday, tomorrow may never happen so enjoy today!

That's incredible well done 50K! I thought I had done well sending all my excess phone credits to PCUK when the carrier dropped out of the market.
You are seriously impressive :-)
Good luck,
Nigel

Hi all,

It has saddened me to read too many new posts here over the last 10 days of relatively young men with advanced and/or aggressive prostate cancer.

I just wanted to reassure those men that it's not all over and tha you must keep "living" your life to the full. I continue to get out there 28 months after a T4N1M1a diagnosis.

I have just got back from a 66 mile running race, all off road, over 3,000 metres of climb , yes it took me 16 odd hours but I loved the race and just being out there and able to compete reminds me of why I must do what I can to stay well. Please take hope that life is not over when you get a rubbish diagnosis. Whilst at the mid point break in the race I also presented to 130 people last night about the risks of prostate cancer so hopefully did some good too. We all have so much to give.

Never give up friends.

Kev

Irun, you are a star and will continue to be a shining light to others for a long time yet, I think.

Hi Kev
So proud of you and the work you do. I couldn't even run to the corner shop I'm afraid. I can't blame that on the cancer , and I'm only 49 and twelve stone. I blame it on 30 years of hard labour tbh. You are an inspiration defying all the odds.

Respect.

Are you sure you're not from Essex? A little place about 1 mile due south from Ilford perhaps? http://community.prostatecanceruk.org/editors/tiny_mce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-wink.gif
