    Post 508: Do not over do it Mr U. With no Monday feeling at all but a desire to get a new prescription I headed into town, without the aids of a car to get there. Again there was cloudy mist cover as morning broke into afternoon without any rain to...

    Sixth and Seventh 12 Week Reviews
    Well, I must have been distracted, elated, intoxicated (or all three) following my 6th review because I completely forgot to post the good news on here that all was OK. Had 7th review results today and all still OK, PSA remains undetectable. I think ...

    Results and a hiccup
    June 20 2019 Five weeks later there are a lot of people in the consulting room again and I am pitched into the dark again as I’m told that the PET/CT shows an 8mm hotspot and they need to biopsy but everybody tries to reassure me that they have...

    It’s National Inclusion Week!
    Have you ever felt that your identity, background or the way you experience the world has affected your cancer journey?

    National Inclusion Week is an opportunity to think about what inclusion means for people affected by cancer. Cancer can affect anyone, but the experience of diagnosis, treatment and recovery isn’t the same for everyone.

    Survey email
    Just had a server email off MacMillan, I don’t mean to be rude but it was a pointless survey asking questions about faith, earnings in the house, ethnicity, gender identification. I completed it with no reply answers, what a waste of questions....
