I don't expect comments, I just wanted to say that you can fight this horrible cancer but it isn't easy and to the outside world you might seem to be doing ok but nobody can fully know how much energy it takes just to keep ahead of the cancer.

A nice use of words. You appear a great support that must have helped him to be a fighter.
All the best. Peter

I hope all goes ok today and yes please look after yourself. The stress is endless. I have Bone and full CT on 27th July. They will be my sixth of each so probably causing a fair bit of damage in themselves!! Quite scared of what progress they find. Best wishes

Good luck for your scan day. Despite trepidation we managed to get through the day with no hitches. My oh hadn't been in a car for 4 months but he was OK while I drove.The worst was spending 4 hours in a mask. We were not used to being in a small room with 4/5 others and it was hard to feel totally safe tho everyone was helpful and we used sanitiser often.

Just results to face now. Hoping all will be OK.

To everyone facing scans Good Luck. We think today's were the 8th.

Fingers crossed for you Gilly - did they indicate how long you might have to wait for the results? xxx

Thanks for the advice - I am going on Friday as they had a cancellation - I look like a wild woman and far greyer than before lockdown but am not going to have it coloured this time.

Devastating news today following results of the scans - there has been a huge increase in psa and spread of cancer.

We are trying to process the whole thing, we have no more options apart from a blast of radiotherapy to a thigh bone. Then it will be palliative care for the remaining months . There was so much we still wanted to do and had hoped for longer but like dear Bazza, we approach the coming weeks with sorrow and aim to make every single day count. Thank God for Love.
