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.

  • Watercress and cream cheese sandwiches are very good for iron.I also make a pesto from watercress, along with basil and pine nuts, ground almonds and XV olive oil. It's rather yummy and a nice way to get iron. I've had anaemia issues before but they are now sorted.  Rainie x

  • Thanks Rainie, I will definitely give that a try!

    Love Annette x

    That is a cracking weight loss so long as you do want to lose some.

    Morning all I hope the bones etc are all hanging together, I also had some anaemia but I managed to resolve that with diet. We are all creaking at the edges but hanging in there :).  I run every day and hope that helps my bones stay strong.  I am told to rest a little but my attitude is I may as well do it now while I can! Hope you all have the best Sunday you can and sending my best and most positive thoughts to you all.

    Well I don't know about you and Ulls but I am sweating more now I am off the hormones than when I was on them.

    Every time I read that Ellie has done some work in or outdoors, I start it pouring out of me again in sympathy!

    And where's the wellbeing I was meant to be experiencing once I was unplugged.?

    Off to Sunday School now hoping for some retrospective forgiveness.

  • I suppose your body has to get used to not being hormone suppred, still taking my hormone breakfast every day

    The nuisance will be when I start feeling better then the figures go up and I'm back on them again.

    There was a good reason for signing up to this no treatment treatment but I'm buggered if I can think of what it was!

  • Sounds like you're memory is as good as mine, why was I answering this post?????
