Hello to you all.  Sorry to have met the criteria for inclusion in this group of the forum (Just recently diagnosed with Stage 4 prostate cancer, bone mets and multiple lymph node involvement.  Described by oncologist as particularly nasty and unlucky, the cancer not me!  She may be half correct as I can’t get a win a the bookies for love nor money).  I am 53 and intend to hang around with my rather dark sense of humour for a long as possible.  Current estimates anywhere from 12 to 36 months, so lets see if this time frame can be extended!

All the best to you all.

    Hi Moi2, it's raining in Sunderland as well, saves me watering the garden, Friday I have a wee dram, once fortnightly to pub with friends 2 glasses of spritza.

    Mrs U don't drink in-between pub visits, if you don't mind me being nosy which type of diabetes do you have.

    All the best Ulls

    Hi Ulls they are calling it type 3c, it's been coursed  by my treatment. Not as well known as 1 and 2. Is mostly coursed by long term illness. Mines side efect of my immunotherapy. Insulin and metformin twice a day  but are talking about going on insulin 4 times a day. Hence my jelly babies them or Lucozade for hypos which I don't  have very often but  the hot weather didn't help. Take care  best wishes to Mrs. Ulls xx

    All the best Ulls

    Wow a sensible conversation not used to that on this site, I'm glad to have an other northerner on here, a certain person who lives below the Watford gap think's I'm a spive from Manchester?

  • in reply to Ulls

    Yes I'm new at this only got diagnosed in march as type 2. Ended up in hospital 3c and am on a study 1 of 2500 people taking part, seeing how we cope with it and how it affects us, have to keep a diary and see the nurse regularly. I see her once a  month xx

    Yes Ulls let's forget sensible.  You a spive must be a southerner calling you that, we this side of the Watford Gap don't  use them word, we have our own slang x

    You are very fickle Ulls. After attempting to take Ellie from me you have now moved on to Moi2. You should come with a public health warning. You are so transparent.

    Hi AA,  I'm a free spirit I flit here and there and am quit happy in my own little way. Ulls and I have 3 things or is it 4 in common:- we both have spouses, diabetes,  cancer oh and yes both NORTH of the Watford  Gap ha ha. Take care xx

    That good your being looked after well, sometimes side effects can seem worse than the cancer.

  • in reply to Moi2

    I wonder what MrsAA thinks, proberbly just shake's her head at you in dispair.

Help us do whatever it takes, because we’ve never been needed more.
