I would just like to say hello to you all and thank you, it has taken me a while to put my feelings into words and I can only do so after reading your blogs. I knew this was coming because I have lost two sisters and two brothers to Cancer but it still made me very, very angry when my specialist told me I had Prostate Cancer. I didn’t feel ill unlike my sisters and brothers so I kept telling myself that they must have made a mistake. I was shown the Biopsy results and my MRI and CT scans and sent to see the surgeon who if I decided to go that route would perform my operation, which I have now decided to have (didn’t like the sound of the side effects of Radiotherapy). So it wasn’t a mistake and yes I have got cancer, now I have to get my head round it but that’s easier said than done. You are all really amazing people and I have taken great strength from reading your blogs, whenever I feel really down and start to feel sorry for myself (pathetic isn’t it) I come here and read and read what you are also going through and try to put what I have in perspective. I can relate to what some of you have said, sleepless nights or waking up when I have slept wet through with sweat. I have a good family round me all telling me I will be ok but when I read what you all have to say, people who are going through or have been through the journey I am taking now it some how sounds better and gives me some peace of mind to carry on.
So thank you once again to all of you.
You will find everyone here very understanding to your circumstances even though they are also going through it themselves. I sometimes feel so selfish because I am not the patient but its my dad who has cancer and yet they always make me feel postive and supported. Hope you get on well with your treatment
but if you have read any of my blogs you will realise that I am not wired up right anyway! I am now on my sixth chemo sessions and am finding it very hard. I have becoem depressed which is not me at all. It does strange things to you.
