Thats life

'Hi  Mustardo. - have to say, I like your style:). But yes, I think this is a process we go through - huge anxiety gives way eventually to reluctant acceptance and then realisation that we need to get on with LIVING while we can!  Thanks, too, for thinking of us wives and partners! It’s tough for you guys having to go through the treatment but it’s a tough ride for us too!

hope you enjoy Barbie - but,  even with my own female hormones I wouldn’t go anywhere near it!!!  

Hi Mustardo

That's the attitude - I am in just the same train of thought - I am here once - I have got the "Big C" but what the hell - I am going to fight the bugger and enjoy life to the full. I am lucky I have a very supportive wife and 4 very supportive adult children - we are past the worst - my journey isn't over (6 monthly PSA Test this morning)  but I am thankful for all the support I have had from my family and members of "the club" on here.

We have shared the hard times - waiting for diagnosis - crying when we were "down" but celebrating with the good times - ringing the bell at the end of Radiotherapy - leaving hospital after being in over Christmas and New Year and having a delayed full Christmas Dinner with the family on 3 January.

It's a "Double A" ride for sure and one no one wants - but I agree -

never stop believing in yourself but most of all remember this affects your wife partner or whoever just as much as YOU ....one life live it ....

That sums it up for me  - well said pal!

I've found myself very laid back about my diagnosis, probably too much for my family.Life if one big roller coaster,who knows what is round the corner.Ive lost friends and family to cancer at fairly young ages,so have never worried about tomorrow and live for the moment.Good luck with your treatment 

My husband is really layed back about it all, wish I could be like him. He is happy that they can treat it if it can't be cured, but new things are coming out all the time. My problem is that I am a solver and like to be in charge (after being with me 37 years husband is used to it) and I can't change or solve this. 

My son saw Barbie and enjoyed it.I never fancied it

Hi mustardo, 

I love your attitude and positivity. You are up with the kids. My son is a huge 6ft 5, drinks Martini pornstars and saw “Barbie” last week, all without HT.
