Hi all,
Once again woken with my thoughts, yesterday I met my Oncologist for the first time, since understanding my 5+4 and 367 PSA result.
In short offered numerous treatments but because of age and current physical okay condition I will start shortly on additional hormone therapy on top the highest strength one for which I am already having then chemotherapy and steroids.
I appreciate we are all different but any advice on coping strategies would be good, slightly nervous but staying strong for me and my family.
To think having only been a member for a short period I originally posted about staying awake all night, now it seems the worry has got me back into that place again and I wish that’s all I had to worry about.
I guess every part of this no matter what it is affects us all in different ways and what’s a worry for some is less so for others, the whole gig is not the best.
However I will fight but tips are always a bonus so if you can share I for one would be extremely grateful.
Thanks to you all.
