Well Hello again
I have more news from yesterday the 23rd December, first the Macmillan Nurse telephoned first thing in the morning she was sorry too hear that i was still having pain trouble, and suggested that i up my Morphine and add in some Ibruprophine to help, she also informed me that the reason that my appointment with the Specialist was held up was because the Oncologist is only at my local hospital once a month and i missed her this month she also said that i should talk to my...
Following on from the last post, these are the results of what happens when you ask 12 ladies to pick their favourite song without selecting one by David Cassidy. You may notice that a certain person managed to sneak one in. However she is perfectly correct. David may be singing, but the single is credited to The Partridge Family, so no rules have been broken! Anyway we couldn’t really leave him out could we? Interesting choices ladies! Some I was anticipating, but a few were quite a surprise...
Hello Again all
Well I thought that i had got my pain relief concored but that has all gone by the way side, i phoned the Doctor yesterday for some help but was told that i could not speak to her untill Monday so now i have too cope with the pain until then, well i suppose i have been managing for a week like this so a few more days will not matter, it all boils down to my own fault and the thoughts of my past relationship breakdown which is why i will not stand up to my wife and tell her...
Some of my family have been selecting their favourite song to go onto a CD for a forthcoming get-together. So I’m going to let you have a little peek at the results. And before anyone asks, no I haven’t picked one, I am finding it an impossible task. My regular readers know D, he’s finally managed to choose and his selection is included. I’m not going to tell you which one it is at the moment. We’ve just been having a discussion about the best way to choose your favourite...
This is where I am now. I have advanced, aggressive PCa which has become resistant to the standard drugs; decapeptyl and bicalutamide. I am to go on to abiraterone next as an informed choice. Chemo can be given later if I agree and if my condition warrants it. However agressive my disease may be, I'm assured that it's in my pelvic bones only, not in lymph nodes, nor liver nor anywhere else.
I had a very helpful and informative meeting with my consultant urologist yesterday. He's a listener...
nice sunny day in Wiltshire today but thats where the fun stopped. Was great to be accompanied to hospital by my son who has taken some snaps which i will upload over weekend. Only lost 2.5kgs in the week so dietitian reasonably happy. Picked up prescription for antibiotics (1 week course). Slept all way home, took round of Meds and then threw them all back up. dont know what is in stomach and what is down loo, throat so sore i am not taking anything else and will try to get some sleep. Four /fifths...
I was going to give the music blog a rest until the New Year but I received an email saying it was being missed and a post would be really nice. The message even had the subject ready for me – music to cheer you up when you’re having a bad day. So I’ve had a rummage through my collection this morning and I think this track selection might help. Hopefully my loyal readers will think of a few more suggestions and let me know.

Just about when I think things can't get any worse, and even though my consultants, nurses and doctors tell me it will get worse things do, and did so in quite a dramatic fashion today (Wed). A good start to the day saw me reunited with my mobile (had left it in car) although only one battery left on him. Got thru salisbury and southampton traffic and arrived on time at hospital. Had number 23 RT session and then the fun started. After being praised for my bloods for last 4 weeks, yesterdays...
