Surgery or Radiotherapy? Decision made!

I had a Ford Escort Mk 1, (worth a fortune now, but mine rusted away!).

I then had a Opel Manta 1900SR (Mk 1, with the round tail lights).

Both cars had the obligatory “go faster” stripes down the side

Glad things are going well. My first PSA was 0.1, result today. So going correct way, early days! Hot flushes, if anything, got worse in the night, but,it has been alot warmer weather. No other problems, still getting mucus in poo,thought it had stopped, but,seems to have restarted. Good Luck,enjoy life!

May the good time continue - 0.1 is amazing!

Best wishes Brian.

Hi all, it’s nearly a month since I posted on my thread, and I thought I would share my excitement about tomorrow….  Since my diagnosis pathway which started in July 2023, I have fought hard to stay fit throughout my treatment. Once my brachytherapy and external beam radiotherapy was completed, Mrs AW and I hiked the Cleveland Way in Yorkshire, did some weekends away hiking, and most recently we led a group in Menorca. However, I have missed my beloved Alps terribly.  Well, Mrs AW has gone up north with her Mum, sister and brother for a weeks holiday so……

Tomorrow I fly to Bavaria for a weeks hiking in the mountains at heights up to 2,000m. I’ll be staying in a traditional Alpine guest house. I think I will be a bit emotional tbh, because as well as my PCa battle, I lost my dear Mum in Feb this year - so much has happened since I was last in the Alps. My rucksack is packed and I’m catching the 0805 train to Heathrow. I can’t wait…     AW

Have a well deserved break AW

Best wishes

Hi AW,

Inspirational post! Every new diagnosed man should read it to see that there is a light at the end of it and life around the corner! Positive attitude, research, fitness are major part of the tool box.

With lots of love

Hey Alpine Wanderer 

Cracking post - made me cry (bloody hormone therapy!!).

You are a winner - keep up the good work and enjoy the Alps as a fantastic reward for all the good work you do both for your family and the Community.

It just shows how a positive attitude works................

Kind Regards - Brian.

After this past year, I shed a tear of gratitude for the NHS, remembrance for Mum and joy for my first alp since treatment. This was nearly 1,000m straight up from breakfast, with a 30 minute scramble to the airy top. A fine peak - the Aiplspitz.

Absolute magic - I just can't fault you. You are an inspiration to us all.

Kind Regards - Brian.

What fitness in spite of PC treatment! Well done and enjoy your break. I’m sure your mum would be very proud of you!
