Morning All,

No jolly mood for me today. This afternoon biopsy and tomorrow the oncologist with results of the bones and ct scans. Trying to be strong. 10 days to Christmas...

My husband feel good and looks normal so who would guess his cancer beating on his pelvis nodes and wall bones. 

Sorry to put a damp on the lovely banters.

Love from Brighton

Dafna

  • Hello Dafna

    It's a tough old time the tests and meetings before the full diagnosis - your poor husband loses his dignity - you worry, quite right to do so too. BUT take it from me, when you are given your diagnosis and a treatment plan your whole mind-set changes gear and you settle down on to the treatment path.

    Biopsy will be done tonight and your meeting Thursday will soon be over and then it's back to Christmas mode.

    Check today when he can resume his normal activities (swimming) after the biopsy - we don't want him doing anything nasty to himself.

    I hope it goes well today and we are here holding your virtual hand through these next two days.

    Best wishes - Brian.

  • All the best to you both for this afternoon and let us know what happens tomorrow. Thinking of you with big hugs.

  • Good morning dafna. I was so scared when we went in the room for the results. As soon as we knew exactly what we were dealing with and what the plan was then suddenly everything started to feel different and better. Hope all goes well over the next couple of days

    Good luck this afternoon and please don't be upset if Jacob has blood in his urine for a few days as that's perfectly normal. Let us know how you get on tomorrow.

    Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery and today is a gift.

  • Hello Dafna , I am keeping my fingers crossed for you both. Just hang on in there!I can honestly say you are at the very worst part of the journey. Once you know where you stand  you can start to move forward and my own experience is that it does get easier to handle. The diagnostics take so long ( too long!) and the fear and uncertainty are so hard. Just remember though, that prostate cancer, caught early enough, is curable and caught later is now eminently manageable. As with other cancers, treatments and cures are becoming more and more sophisticated and successful..

    I can honestly say that for those first months I barely slept and was rarely dry eyed! My thoughts are very much with you. Please let us know how you get on today . Sending you a massive hug xxx

  • Dafna,  good luck with biopsy and results.  My personal worst part of my the journey was the biopsy, so by tonight it will be over.  Whatever is thrown at you tomorrow, you will be in a better place for knowing.  Keeping my fingers crossed for you both.  David
