One Step at a Time

Hello Lee (Leelaloo ) 

I know what you mean about litter:

* The car park for the Country Park near us always has empty "fast food" containers on the floor. People bring the food to the park - eat it and throw the wrappings out of the window - there are 4 bins within 50 yards!! The "Golden Arches" and other fast food emporiums should be forced to ask you for proof of name and address when ordering take-away food and print this on all the wrappings.

* Why do some people pick up dog poo in a poo bag and then hang it off a bush or a tree?

Rant over - enjoy your walks - I've just come back from an hour with my hound and with the sum out it was a cracking walk.

Best wishes - Brian.

Hi Millibob. I’ve been offered SABR as an option. I’ve got an appointment at the QE in oncology on Thursday at 9.45am, but I’m unsure what questions to ask & I don’t want to sit there like a dummy. My brother is coming with me. He has prostate cancer as well, but had hormone therapy & radiotherapy a few years ago. Hope u can get away in July. I did another walk today round Leasowes, but only 3 miles. 
Best wishes 

Andy. 

Hello Titaniumx 

Another welcome to the online Community although i am so sorry to find you joining us. I have been following your posts on the "Awake" group. There's plenty of great support there.

I wish you well with you 2 treatments - try and get out for some fresh air and some exercise, if you are up to it between treatments.

Do keep us posted as to your progress.

Best wishes - Brian.

Hi Millibob. Yes dog poo hanging off trees disgusting. Like Xmas but you wouldn’t want a pick off that tree!!

Best wishes

Andy.  

Hello Andy (Brummie69 ) 

It's great you have your brother going with you. All questions are quite personal. I would be asking:

* How many fractions of SABR will my treatment be, on what days and how long will each session take?

* What are the risks to my bladder and bowel?

* Do I have any preparation for each fraction. Diet and is it empty or full bladder and empty bowel?

* Are there any short or long term side effects I should be aware of.

I hope this helps. Do let us know how you get on.

Best wishes - Brian.

Thanks Brian. I’ll let u know how I get on. It’s just a consultation at moment.  

Hi Millibob. Actually my brother had prostate cancer a few years ago & his PSA is really low. He had radiotherapy & hormone treatment. Leasowes is a the landscaped former home of a local poet, but he was quite well off for a poet. The main house is gone, but you can walk round the grounds. Best wishes Brummie69. 

I enjoy being outside . I am doing bits in garden but get very tired 

Hello Titaniumx 

It's great you are getting out. It's not about what you can or can't do - it's making the effort.

We are all getting older and have our own cancers - but just getting out and about is good for the body and soul. I know what you are saying about being tired, fatigue is one side effect of my treatment.

Best wishes - Brian.

Iam trying to do as much as possible trouble is I get tired quickly which is frustrating to say the least . I hope to decorate bathroom soon xxx
