Awake and up all night

Hello Jeffery 

Welcome to my world, although I am so sorry to find you joining us - i am 4.5 years into my personal prostate cancer journey - you can read the whole tale by clicking on my name or avatar (make a brew first - it's a long one!!).

This is the general cancer group - they are a cracking bunch and you can chat here all day and night - anything from holidays, football to Muller corners!! 

We do have a dedicated Prostate Cancer group and here's the link you nee to join us:

Prostate cancer forum 

Just click on the link i have provided and once the page opens up, click on "join" on the black banner at the bottom of the page. Once you have joined the group, why not introduce yourself in the "New Here - Say Hello" section - you will get plenty of support.

I will catch up with you on that group tomorrow as I am on holiday in Scotland but driving back to Lancashire in the morning.

I look forward to "meeting" you again.

Best wishes - Brian.

Thanks Brian I am trying everything myself to beat this I go to the gym 5 times a week and I have cut all sugars out of my diet I have tried to give my body its best fighting chance 

Hello Jeffrey,

I'm 10 years into my own prostate treatment, diagnosed 2016 and treated with radiotherapy and HT, then recurred early 2024 and treated with chemotherapy and indefinite HT and Darolutaimide (aka triplet therapy).

As Brian (Millibob) suggested, join us on the prostate forum - you'll get plenty of help there. However, do stay on here as well for chat about anything you like, anytime.

Derek.

I found the mri scan worse than the biopsy. Can you take someone with you to the biopsy ? Maybe that will help keep you calm.xxx

Have a lovely break Gill you really deserve it xxx

Unfortunately I've got no one most of my family live to far away I went through the last biopsy on my own I just worry these biopsy ain't good for the prostate 

There's a lot of night owls here Jeffrey and lots of us have different ways of trying not to dwell on those thoughts in the middle of the night. You are not alone though, it's a very scary time. 

I recently started subscribing to Amazon Audible and go to sleep with something playing if I'm going through an extra worrying time. Have recently started the Harry Potter series (read them several times and seen the films). It's just enough to switch my mind off a bit from it all. I seem to remember #sbird likes to listen to horror stories!! (I think it was bird from memory).

Are you new to a diagnosis? Once you get a treatment plan it helps and sites like this where you meet strong people who are fighting and winning their styles with cancer,  also help enormously!

Hang on in there and remember,  you're not alone xxx

Don't over do it Jeffrey.  Cancer can be very random and I don't think there's evidence that sugar feeds cancer. You need to eat healthily of course but you also need to rest and to give yourself little treats.

Be kind to yourself xxx

I understand you. The nurses are usually helpful if you tell them you are feeling very anxious. The doctors wouldn't do it if it was going to harm you. I am not sure what the procedure is on prostate as I am female.hopefully you will join the prostate group.xxx

Gill you seem like a very good woman or man you give people a lot of happiness
