Dear Walter,
My OH is also G9 he was diagnosed last year. It has been one of the hardest years of our lives. He's had his treatments and is now on hormone therapy for three years, now about half way through. We have laughed cried and still do sometimes.
Although he's older than you, we are both young at heart types, love travelling, we've back packed around SE Asia, Greek islands and other places too.
Both of us have lived in different countries.
Our lives have changed, and we are adjusting our nom, I say 'we' as it has been a journey shared one we had no intention of taking.
We are beginning to look forward, we still have times of anger dispair and fear, but they are getting less.
David is beginning to work again, he's a musician, and he's looking at a new project... singing and playing every day.
We are planning our veg garden, we grow all our own veg. I'm beginning to do some more work I'm self employed too, and I've started some art projects.
Hey, we none of us know how long we have, this blasted illness has kicked our arses big time, and made us think.
This forum has give us great support hope and vision.... so many here have given us comfort and knowledge.
Book your trip, dear man, we are going away next week.
This blasted disease can't stop all our fun now can it.
