One Step at a Time

Or the Lion...... the intrument "Lyre"...

Today we took a walk along the promenade at Frinton on Sea. It was very windy, which a couple of people were taking advantage of whilst kite surfing. You can just about see his blue kite. 

It is really great watching kite surfing I really don't know how they do it, probably lots of practice

Hi my name is Andy.  I have fairly recently been diagnosed with prostate cancer. I’m new to this online stuff & I am probably sending a message to the wrong person or in wrong way. I am a Gleason score of 7 & the team think I am suitable for a shortened form of radiotherapy called SABR with no hormone therapy. It is early days yet & I am to see an oncologist at Birmingham QE next Thursday the 11th at 9.45am. I live on my own, so It would be good to converse to blokes in same boat  The good thing is that the QE is just down the road - that’s if I am going there for treatment!!

Best wishes

Andy  

I go out for a walk sometimes 4 or 5 times a week. I’m hoping it’ll still take my mind off things. Though I’m still in early days & havent started radiotherapy yet. Maybe I’ll be too tired ?

Hi Millibob. Coastal paths certainly aren’t flat I did the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path 20 odd years over 2 weeks. I did it with my brother who has had prostate cancer but now clear. I have recently been diagnosed with prostate cancer. Path included a lot of going down to beach & back up again. I’ve done quite a few long distance walks & hope to do more. 

Hi Andy welcome to the forum. There is a forum for prostate cancer so if you want to chat to men in the same boat as you it would be a good one to join. I expect one of the community champions will be along soon to give you the link. The forums are great because you can discuss anything you want and there are lots of people who have been through what you are going through. Sending hugs

Linda

Hello Again Andy (Brummie69 ) 

I love walking but at 70 and after almost 4 years on Hormone Therapy I love flat walks - The 170 meters UP to Dinas Head on the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path didn't half knacker me!!

Gleason 7 sounds to be on a very "curative pathway" and Radiotherapy has come on in leaps and bounds in the last few years and is pretty safe.

I live in Lancashire but a good friend, Dave lives in Birmingham. if I ring his land line and his mum answers the 'phone, she shouts him - Dave, Dave, Dave - but with her Brummie accent it sounds like Dive, Dive, Dive - so he's known as the Birmingham Submarine!! (I bet he's not the only one!).

Catch you again on the Prostate cancer forum. 

Best wishes - Brian.

Hi Brian. Can you send me the link again? I’m not quite sure what it looks like when you call it a black banner. I can see a grey thing with an arrow on it. Is that it?
