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.
Michael
Hi Michael, I have just read some of the posts here, I don't receive all the notifications from this group that I am meant to get. It can get a bit confusing sometimes!
I'm sure like a lot of us here, you will outlast your prognosis as they are coming up with new treatments all the time! How are you doing?
Love Annette x
Hi all
Woke up feeling a bit down today then re-read this thread - thank you guys, cheered me up no end.
How are you settling in Morton68? Think we're all mad?
