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, Michael, 17 month in I feel ok, if I ignore the side effects, still enjoying life, causing confusion and laughter whenever I get the chance, have you come to terms with our mutual problems yet 

  • Nice to have you back Michael. Hope things are manageable for you? Keep us up to speed with how you're doing. Hugs from Rainie x

    Totally enjoying life, perhaps too much at times and paying for it lol.  I have come to terms with things for sure, trying to laugh as much as possible too :) Hope you are doing well.
