My partners 79 year old borther was diagnosed with prostate cancer on new years eve.
Since then he has been taking hormones and antibiotics.
On wednesday 9th March he went into hospital to have the tumour removed.
When he came round from the operation the surgeon told him that he had done everything he could for him.
My partners brother asked what that meant.
The surgeon said I did nothing.
Oh said my partners brother so this is the end then?
No said the surgeon, there was nothing there to be done. I can't understand it there was something there, the scans and the blood tests all said there was something there but there isn't now, it has gone!
How could that be asked the patient. The surgeon said he didn't know maybe the hormones or antibiotics did it but all I know is that there are no tumours you don't have cancer now!
Wouldn't that be wonderful it if could happen to us all?
Love Julie xxxx
