My PSA has been rising for over 4 years now and in that time I have had 2 trus biopsies done private in Glasgow. they both showed clear or non conclusive,
My PSA continued to rise to 17 and so In November 2028 I decided to change specialist and I headed to london. In London under prof Mark Emberton I had a guided needle biopsy and this showed cancer confined to one side of my prostrate. I was told that my diagnosis was very good and could...
Having cancer definitely influences how you spend time and what you do. In my case, I was able to continue doing some activities like going to meetings and ad-hoc seminars and meeting up with friends.
I stopped dancing because I did not want to get bumped; in any case it was not fair if other dancers had to be extra careful because of me. I could not dance but I did go and see friends perform. I didn't have the energy to dance. I enjoyed being in the audience; clapping and cheering for my friends...
I have been chasing my insurance claim now for a while and even given them the information they want, now they may have to verify the letter emailed to them on headed paper from the hospital - on top of that this insurance company have written to my daughter who is 23 to see if she wants to leave something to her family when she is gone, this is a policy for over 50's.
I headed off to my appointment for the results of my CT scan, up until now I have kept myself mostly positive. OK my eyes...

Well, it's February 2018 and the decision (back in September) about what surgery to have went in favour of the simpler eye removal op. The technical term is "evisceration" which means removing the innards, e.g. when gutting a fish. Sounds lovely, doesn't it?
