Well, that was quick. I chased the medical oncologist (Greek God) up this morning and he has had a pow wow with the radio oncologist, so I was told to speak to him as they both thought hubby was eligible for SBRT on the distant mets. Did this at lunchtime and was asked when we would like it done. Whenever we replied. Got a text at 17:30 to ask if we are available TOMORROW  at 15:50 for the planning scan and can we take the PSMA PET scan disc. So all set for treatment starting next week. Having to sort out an apartment near the hospital for a couple of weeks as he predicts it will be 5 sessions on alternate week days.

  • our maybe even for ourselves, not naming any names

    Oh yes - I do read all the posts you know!! RoflJoyRofl.  Another 9 months on these Hormones and my choice of shops will be back to Savile Row for my suits !!

    I must confess I don't suffer insomnia and can sleep for England (apart from my wanderings to the toilet ever 3/4 hours) - the big change for me was changing to De-Caff coffee.

  • We are just a little worried about you that's all, though as like you i now have man boobs maybe the lingerie department is more relevant for some of us. My sleeping is good now, maybe once a month it's crap, on a few forums too, though got my MDT notes yesterday and have to come off the bladder and bowel forums as i no longer qualify. Do you think you will miss the emotional side of HT.

  • As long as Brian isn't going to Ann Summers!

  • Eddie, I'm glad I just had to do an emergency stop, no other traffic around.

    Next we'll see Deer riding Electric Scooters, without helmets on!

    It's always the 'what if'.  Glad you are ok though.

  • Very interesting stuff!

    Well worth knowing!

  • Eddie, I saw a n emotional psychological at the Maggie's in Newcastle.  Thought she was great!

    Would recommend it to anyone.

  • Good Morning Eddie

    No I am fine thank you - I had a bad week last week but all is well now.  That's some great news for you if you are off the bladder and bowel forums, an improvement in your condition.

    I won't miss anything HT has given me. I am off to "fat club" this morning to try and lose some weight,. A few weeks ago I had to be helped out of a friend's funeral as I was crying louder than the celebrant was talking. I burst out in tears at almost anything. ED isn't nice, a bit of "normal sex" would not go amiss. .Having the smallest penis in the world and needing to sit down for a wee is not the best. Man boobs are not funny when you are swimming in a public pool and everyone looks at you! Hot flushes are great in winter but you can stick them in summer. I have had the odd mood swing. Brain fog has kicked in and I had 4 months of itchy skin.

    HT - 9 months to go and boy - will I celebrate when I have my last injection.

    The only thing (apart from Mrs Millibob and the Community) that has kept me going during the last few months are those 2 words " Curative Pathway".

    And you think my dress sense has been affected - that's nothing compared to that lot - it's a good job I can see the funny side of every thing. JoyJoyJoy

  • Hi Steve unfortunately the 15mph "crash" was too slow for seatbelts to tighten and i  ended up with  a double wedge compression fracture and 3 damaged discs, happy days

  • That was a ManHug.

    Glad to hear you are feeling better now.

    Brian, you are an inspiration to us all.  As for having the smallest in the world, I think a lot of us will argue the point there (not that there's much of a point).

    People might be jealous of your manboobs, you never know!

    If everyone knew your situation they wouldn't look.  Not that it's anyone's business of course.

    We all understand and support eachother.

  • The guy at Maggie Leeds is great too, as is everyone else, talking of which we have another cancer charity Aurora, run by a girl who used to work at Maggies Newcastle up to about 18 months ago called Emma Walker, sound familiar.
