Happy Easter

Hi LinP ,  sorry to hear that your husband is still very fatigued, but RT and HT can hit you hard and together with him working I think it is not unusual.  Is he doing manual work, if so, totally understandable.

As for any reoccurrence, don’t worry.  Make the most of the time now and take heart from some of us on non curative pathways who are still going after years.  New tests, drugs and treatments are coming out all the time.   None of us know how long we have got (even the ones without cancer!) so enjoy life and stay positive.  Best wishes to you both,  David

Hello (LinP ) Linda

Thank you so much for your update. considering his diagnosis and treatment, he doing fantastic. The HT/RT combination not only changes your body it changes the way you think, the way you move and it causes fatigue.

It's also a "couples cancer' so it affects you too!!. I appreciate it's taken it out on you both, there is support if you give our helpline a ring on 0808 808 00 00. Of course we as a Community are always around to offer support too.

Again, it's great to hear from you.. Please keep us posted and may you and your husband and family have a great Easter too,

Best wishes - Brian.

Thank you so much David, yes he was in a manual job driving a forklift but his work have been very supportive and given him an office job doing computer work. I take heart from your comments and you’re right what’s the point in wasting valuable time worrying about what if? It just was a shock I guess but we are both trying to stay positive.  I hope you continue to stay well for many years to come.

Kind regards

Linda

Thanks Brian, I guess it all just caught up with me but I’ve been lurking around in the background and still enjoying your wit and positivity. You really are a true Champion!

Regards

Linda

Hi Linda sorry to hear your hubby is very fatigued but at least the RT over for now,I’ve still got that to come,just enjoy time with each other and also take time for yourself as it takes its toll on the partner as well give him my best xx

Hi Robert,
We are from Scotland too, just outside Edinburgh.  Thank you for your kind words. My husband had no problems with the radiotherapy at all, the worst part was travelling to the Western every day. My hubby is gleason 3 +4 =7 too but with hotspot on pelvic lymph nodes but they radiated that too. Good luck with radiotherapy my husband was dreading it and was relieved it went without a hitch. 

Regards

Linda
